  Reduce by Reusing your cell phone as a book reader

  The paper book publishing industry is unbelievably wasteful, half of what is manufactured and shipped is later pulped. EBooks have the potential to eliminate the waste, but current specialized reader devices mean buying a device that has a high energy, high toxicity, high waste manufacturing process.

  A new green way to read is to reuse your cell phone as a book reader, this means you can get a book that is new to you without a single thing having been manufactured - just some bits moving from the web to your phone. I found I very quickly adjusted to the small screen, and since the phone is always with me now some books are also.

  You can get free classics from http://www.booksinmyphone.com If you have internet access on your phone then installation is just a matter of following some links, otherwise you need to download and install via a PC or memory card. Free books, zero impact - worth a try.On Plenty of reading to occupy you over the holidays posted 1 year, 11 months ago 7 Responses
