Article sais "Printed books use three times more raw materials and 78 times more water to produce when compared to e-books." and provides a source; that source do not suport it, and in fact it's an opinion blog about iPad, not an eBook.
For example, this paper of 2012 does a comparation asuming that user reads 60 books per year, and it's quite even; if user doesn't read many books electronic devices are more polluting. Greenpeace talks about thousands of books in the lifespan of the device to be better than paper books, since nowdays no paper comes from natural trees and the issue it's water consuption etc. Books transportation consumes fuel; eBooks downloading and storage consume huge amounts of electricity in Internet's data centers (a central point in polluting issue nowdays).
I mean, it is not trivial, as article sais. And of course iPads can't be compared... -- 85.48.235.204 ( talk) 11:07, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
