Comments on: Is Paper On Its Deathbed? http://www.beneaththecover.com/2008/02/18/is-paper-on-its-deathbed/ Inside the Book Industry Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:32:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.2 By: Yvonne DiVita http://www.beneaththecover.com/2008/02/18/is-paper-on-its-deathbed/comment-page-1/#comment-24244 Yvonne DiVita Fri, 22 Feb 2008 10:37:53 +0000 http://www.beneaththecover.com/2008/02/18/is-paper-on-its-deathbed/#comment-24244 Nice article. Truth is - paper, like "real" books, will never go out of vogue. I don't have the figures or facts at my fingertips, but I remember reading on a site that supports the "green" initiative (going paperless is part of saving the environment), that we use MORE paper now. We print emails and articles that were previously available in magazines or newsletters - and did not need printing (as they were already printed). So, I have this notation underneath my signature in all of my business emails: "Consider the environment. Please don't print this e-mail unless you really need to." Nice article.
