Point. But have you considered the advantages of completely electronic paper grading?
Depending on what sort of professor you are, it may or may not make any difference to you, but my wife is an English prof, and she's pretty interested in being able to take, grade, and return papers all electronically. It would allow for use of the on-line plagiarism checkers, and allow her to keep copies of the graded papers with her comments for future reference, all without using a single sheet of paper.
Unfortunately, we're just not quite there yet.
