Re: eReaders hardware / paper waste reduction
Sounds like they could replace their paper use with a website. And no, an e-reader (like a kindle or something like that) is most certainly not what you'd want. You'd want either a regular computer to access the webpage which your food bank may already have or a tablet PC and a wireless connection to the internet.

eReaders hardware / paper waste reduction
I am current work at the food bank on Thursdays (9:30 - 12:30) I am noticing we are using lots of paper (90+ pages per day) I am wondering if these ebook readers are can help us reduce our paper usage? How foolproof are they?
