Thanks for the heads up about their forum being Nntp based with a web wrapper. I went and got a news reader for my iPad and now it's very easy to interface.
Yes, their website seems to be an after thought. However, their online community is vibrant. I just had to get past the slow web interface, and now have by using a news reader. I still prefer web forums to news groups.
I have no idea about their financials. Having discussed the free ebooks topic with them over the last couple of days, I can say that they simply believe in the ultimate good of free access to their books. They remain solidly convinced that more sales come because of it than sales are lost.
Me, I think early books for free and reasonable priced, DRM free new and recent books would make more sense. Also, it appears that I over estimated how many of their authors give out fee versions of their new books. Only some of them do...just happened to be the authors I read. Coincidence?
