    What a fabulous little device. I think I have seen more versions of it at a place called "library". They had all kinds of different operating systems and pre loaded wares.
    Also, there is a version available with extremely large, although monochrome, display that is updated every day! They can be folded and read anywhere, and when done, they can be recycled in the paper bin.

      "Progressives" go on an on about using renewable resources, then when we use renewable resources they complain that we use them. Truth is, they're just pathological narcissists who only want to complain about something in order to make themselves feel like they're better than everyone else.

      There are times to be angry about the environment, and this is not one of them. You're complaining just for the sake of complaining.

      With that thing as your avatar, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess you're about 13 and thus you probably can't comprehend what this video is about.
