Nice idea Here's a well reasoned and throughful note on making books available online for free. Moreover, Eric Flint (the author) is putting his money where his mouth is by doing just that with his own books.

The crux of the argument is that books as easy to read in atomic (paper) form than electronically, and that free electronic distribution makes for great publicity. No argument with either point. Also, he points out that people are trying to make illegal on the Internet what is perfectly legal in the real world -- libraries and sharing books between friends.
