This is a separate argument but one I am so very tired of hearing so sorry if I come across as a bit terse.
The notion that because its electronic delivery then its cheap, or cheaper than print...
That is called an Assumption. And its a bad one too.
Print is expensive and labor intensive. It involves presses, unions, skill, delivery and distribution. However the big costs of that are offset by advertising in the pages.
Digital distribution is expensive but cheaper than print. It involves programmers, sys admins, dbas, CMS developers, web dev, consultants, support, hosting, ec2, bandwidth and more. However the big costs of this are not as easily offset by advertising on web pages because web advertising is dirt cheap.
