Comic Book Blogs! The Future of Reading Are Kindles Recyclable?

COMIC BOOK BLOGS "THE FUTURE OF READING!


Some press today about the Kindle ebook out selling paper editions. No big surprise the future is yesterday now and things like this are to be expected. Just a couple questions came to mind though, considering the ever growing pile of  computer landfills and the never ending life expectancy of plastics... are Kindle's recyclable? Well apparently if you don't throw them out and go through a number of tedious forms and services you can eventually send the ebook back to the company after you are done with it, but really what are the chances of anyone doing that. The steps involve filling out personal information, printing a UPS free-shipping sticker, packing it and mailing it to the Kindle recycling plant. Wow, maybe a couple of hard core hippies will do it but I doubt that you will. It's very encouraging though (that Orwell's 1984 won't be available  due to copyright laws until 2 years after the book predicts all  human  language will be completely reverted to newspeak lol!)  that numerous corporate blogs pomoting the ebook as Eco-Freindly and Green-whatever also have this on their sites ....
As if that's going to stop us from throwing them out...
