Just to clarify, I never implied a 1-to-1 relationship between ebooks sold and pbooks not sold, just a percentage likelihood. How close that reached or surpasses 1:1 depends on both the likelihood of ebook buyers to purchase paper or not, and the likelihood of ebook downloaders to have purchased paper or not.
