Certainly for books, that would be a negligible increase in storage costs and would give them so much more flexibility and to be perfectly honest if they had been in the habit of converting to pdf and then deleting other versions they were basically being idiots for how little space they would save.
Anyway, all these cries of ebooks not being significantly cheaper than paper editions are a red herring when ebooks are often still being sold at equal or higher prices than the paper editions of the same book.
