You had said, "Right now the cost of an Amazon download is competitive to new hardcover purchases," which is not true, and I checked Amazon to confirm that conclusion. You had said nothing about buying discounted books, remainders, etc.

Big assumption there Tom we have done so well managing the Amazon and indonesian rainforest.

Do you honestly think paper making is a green industry? Here's a primer on green industry, a little different to the BO definitions but

I can't speak to how the rest of the world manages their forests. The US is a net carbon sink ,and a major reason for that is forest management that includes logging .
