Paper vs. paperless: Which makes reading greener?

Studies like this must always be viewed from the lens of "if the information is newer than 10-years-old, it must be ignored". That way the study or review doesn't have to try to understand emerging trends and technologies - those things *frighten* people, don't you know?
