"paper free" sounds un-fun. I have a brother laser, that replaced a 2 decade old HP laser that my youngest broke when he was 2 or 3. We go through about 3 reams a year, more when one of us is going for a degree. I print maybe 5 things a month on average, usually recipes. I wouldn't forego a printer for any reason. you can use gimp to take images and make them into coloring book pages, you can print instructions, calendars, drawings, diagrams; prompts for writing, your own writing to make sure that the "screen" isn't tricking your brain making you miss editing/grammar errors. Coloring pages, maps of countries, and other educational things are more fun if you can hold them and put them on your wall, if my kids are any indication. Having a scanner and a copier and a networked printer in a single box for what they cost - that makes it difficult to see the aversion. I have had fancy e-readers since the original kindle, and before that a Clie and two palm pilots with acrobat and an epub (or whatever) reader. and i still prefer dead wood. I read more books on paper than e-ink. I read more on a computer screen than books, though.
