I'm sure more carbon is being used in cutting down the trees to turn into paper, and then shipping all of that paper to customers.

Actually chainsaws are pretty efficient.

I say there is no way more "carbon" is used shipping a few thousand books than powering the entire internet.

you think it's more efficient to ship everyone an entire set of encyclopedias than to keep wikipedia's servers running?
