Hands down the best green product for me is the Kindle by Amazon. Sure Sony was the first company to come up with the e-ink, but because the books you could read on it was restricted to Japanese ones, it was near impossible for everyone else in the world to appreciate the marvel of the e-book.
And now that it’s come down in price to US$259 it’s finally in reach for a lot more people.
