"Here's what an e-reader is: a battery-operated slab, about a pound, one-half inch thick, perhaps with an aluminum border,
rubberized back, plastic, metal, silicon, a bit of gold, plus rare metals such as columbite-tantalite (Google it) ripped
from the earth, often in war-torn Africa. To make one e-reader requires 33 pounds of minerals, plus 79 gallons of water to
refine the minerals and produce the battery and printed writing... "The adverse health impacts [on the general public]
from making one e-reader are estimated to be 70 times greater than those for making a single book," says the Times.
