That said, I'd say it's a good thing that ebooks are starting to make a noticeable dent in sales figures. And heck, that's a bunch of trees that didn't have to get cut down for those 100,000 copies...
Which, of course, doesn't mean that they weren't cut down. It just means that the resulting paper hasn't been put to good use yet... if even that.
