I think I bought Crown of Slaves and Torch of Freedom, though. I was feeling the need to contribute to the authors -- and at $6 each from DRM free epub, they are very reasonably priced.

Well a good idea which I support fully is, if you download the released cds and read just one book, spend the measly $6 and purchase the ebook that provided the cd. My feeling is (even for the free books) I will donate money for the ebook if I felt it was good (so far have not come across a bad one, but no doubt that will happen in time). The ebooks are good, cheap, DRM-free, variety of formats. At times I just can't get my over the cheezy covers some of them have haha
Now isn't the fifthimperium site run by the brother of one of the authors of Baen people? IIRC there is some connection, so it's not like it is a random fan providing them.
