Perhaps predictable that we would get here, but still very disturbing. From the article it is clear where all of this leads, even if for now it is only paper and font size, etc, all for the good of the environment! I notice in the second-hand book shops here that what is available is rapidly diminishing in both quality and quantity. Start your own library with urgency now…those who would rule want all the physical books gone.

Well, there’s an angle I’d have never thought of! I assumed they’d eliminate hard copies by scanning all paper books and ditching hard-copy libraries on the excuse that they’re no longer needed. How silly of me. As you say, it was predictable, since CO2 has become the all-purpose excuse for social engineering.
I can see a future where physical books are used as a “currency” on a sort of black market. I hope that’s just a paranoid fantasy!

Ray Bradbury’s dystopian ‘Fahrenheit 451’ comes to mind!

Yeah smaller font and lighter print makes reading quite unpleasant, perhaps the goal?

Sotuation solved! Skinnier books? Easy as pie. Start with the history books and remove all the lies. That should lighten the load on the forest and leave us with more trees to absorb more CO2 which produces more oxygen for us to breathe. Next…science books.

Now if they could just cut the B.S.; misdirection; half lies; chosen narratives;
& just down-right-propaganda - including CO2, as a bogeyman.

Yeah that would be me after I retired…no one to bother me. I read many hours a day and have lots of books. Especially cool is the archive.com website which has thousands of books to lend for free. Really nice is when reading and a footnote references a book or article, it can usually be found there. Also good for finding out of print and no longer available to purchase books.
