I am now informed about the state of the Baen Free library web pages. They are just out of date. There has been no change of heart with respect to the power of free ebooks as an advertising "good thing". It seemed reasonable to me that the rise of ereaders, and folks who feel the ebook IS "the book" might have changed their thinking on the topic.

I still question the sanity of giving away even the latest, still fairly new, releases.

The other part of the "how is Baen doing" -- is about wanting to have some facts to back up our boasting of how great the Baen way of doing things really is.
