Anyone who is concerned about the trees doesn't need to steal the book. They can buy it as a PDF.

Just because the tree itself is renewable, the *energy* used in cutting it down, turning it into paper, turning the paper into a book and all the transporting in between, is most likely not renewable.It wasn't about comparing emails to paper, it was about stating that at least ripping off someones book as a PDF saves the environment, while I'd argue that the very act of reading it electronically is still detrimental to the environment. The irony just amused me. Cheers, Rich
