That's hardly a problem. Anybody who doesn't want the pbook for environmental reasons can specifically buy the ebook.
It would definitely increase the number of purchases I'd make. In my current situation, ideally I want both. Since I can't really afford that (I'm talking about expensive academic texts here), I tend to buy neither. I admit this isn't entirely logical.
Doesn't have to be free, actually, just a very sharp discount (80%+). I asked Amazon about this way back when the Kindle came out. From the response, it hadn't even occurred to them this is something people might want!
