Not a lot of bias, just a single bias. Electrons are cheaper than wood pulp.
So give the consumer the choice, then. Pay more if you want dead tree format. I would, provided it wasn't astronomically more expensive. There's a job for the future - printing and binding paper versions of books only sold in digital format! I could rip people off... astronomically!
Edit: I could even use the excuse of environmental impact and add a 'tax' ripping people off more. They'd be happy to pay because I'll blame them for the environmental impact and push the impending doom through all forms of media to scare people into paying this tax on everything... ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa!
