Perhaps this will be the motivating factor to push these CEO sorts to ebook format...to reduce production overhead.

I work for a publishing company (not book publisher) and I'm the one who deals with our printing companies. I can tell that SO FAR that we have seen no significant increases to printing costs, as a matter of fact the job I just sent off yesterday dropped slightly from a similar project this time last year. That's not to say it applies in all cases or anything, just some personal experience.
