My main point still stands. Once the book is digitized (for either printing or for the eBook) it will be cheaper to get the eBook completed and in the customer's hands. So it definitely should be cheaper for the customer with the eBook and the authors get their money as usual.
As for authors that don't sell very well, it will be cheaper for the publisher to put their work into eBooks and much less has to go in the landfill.

GREAT IDEA just ocurred while the comments above!!
The Publishers as a general rule should not print paper/pulp books until eBook sales reach a point that indicates a big seller.
Of course Leather and "lame" covers will be available for these premium paper books. Or even fine wood.
