I agree with much of what has been written. Also, the physical contents of most books are easily recycled. E-books become electronic waste which is not easy to recycle.

Rapparee, when I read the title of what you are reading I though you might consider reading Mary Kay Bercaw Edwards book "Cannibal Old Me", although it is more about three ways language (sailor language, church language, and "cannibal" language) was used in Moby Dick than about cannibalism.
