NY Times

Printing the New York Times costs twice as much as sending every subscriber a free Kindle, the e-book reader from Amazon that provides digital subscriptions to books, magazines, and online content.

Don't believe me, check this out:

According to the Times's most recent financial statements, the company spends about $644 million per year on raw materials and wages/benefits related to delivery costs.

The Kindle retails for $359. In a recent letter, Times spokesperson Catherine Mathis wrote: "We have 830,000 loyal readers who have subscribed to The New York Times for more than two years."

Multiply those numbers together and you get $297 million -- a little less than half as much as $644 million.
