In the case of some books, being proofread and spell-checked by an underachieving secondary school student can add value to the free version floating around.
Speaking of which, I wish Project Gutenberg revisited their older publications through the Distributed Proofreaders program; the quality of texts has improved dramatically since its introduction, but a lot of their best stuff predates it to the woe of the reader.
