E-books are the most environmentally friendly of all books – at least if you read enough of them on your e-reader. That’s the key finding of a new study from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.

"The study, in which we collaborated and contributed data, was carried out by KTH," explains Erik Larsson, environmental manager at Bonnierförlagen, which, together with Adlibris and Elib, represented Bonnier in the study. "Similar studies have been conducted for magazines, but we wanted to focus on books. And KTH, as an independent research institute, felt like the most appropriate partner."
