Now, my radical proposal: perhaps we should design all our books for easy reading onscreen in PDF. Landscape orientation, larger fonts, two-column layout. Encourage people to not print from those PDFs. Perhaps tell them a bit about how to print two-up if they really want it printed. Or they can buy the printed book. :-)
While I would definitely encourage people to conserve by using PDFs, there is something about the printed book that the online world can't capture. I'm not saying "those were the days". But sometimes it's easier to have a book by your side rather than doing the old alt-tab trick, or resizing the screens.
