I generally agree with that stance; however, the full cost of pbooks like negative externalities of environmental degradation isn't priced into the books...thus demand may be too high. There is a useful alternative that has far fewer costs and also some side benefits....ebooks.
I also support the high taxes on cigarettes which funds healthcare in some states. You can think of this pbook tax as a vice tax.
