maybe because it's more efficient and less wasteful? I wonder how many tons of stripped books are pulped each year because they didn't sell? What happens to the paper? is it reclaimed for printing more books on? I doubt it.
going POD has some legal implications, though. A lot of contracts (I think) say that an author can reclaim his/her rights to the book when it goes out of print - but POD books are never out of print. Going POD could open a huge can of worms.
