I've heard that e-books are better for the environment, but are they really?

Yes, e-books are generally considered to be more environmentally friendly than traditional books. Printed books require a lot of resources to produce and distribute, including paper, ink, and fuel. E-books can be produced using fewer resources and have a lower carbon footprint due to their digital format. Additionally, e-books often contain less waste since they are not printed on physical media.
