Apparently this adds up to 2kg (4.4lbs) for each seat, which on a 500 seat aircraft is pretty significant!

The information that would have been in each seat back will instead be available through the in flight entertainment system.

It seems odd to target the paper though on an aircraft that boasts two showers for first class customers (think about the water needed for a shower!). I guess every little helps, but I must admit I actually enjoy reading the in-flight magazine on most flights I take. Guess I’ll have to remember to bring my own reading materials in future.
