I attended a banquet last month where one of my table mates was carrying a paper back copy of 1632 by Eric Flint. Intrigued, I noted the title and author and looked it up on Wikipedia later, then went to Baen and found it in the free library. Since I was looking for something new to read, and all of my current series were waiting for the next book to be published I went ahead and downloaded it; and enjoyed it immensely. Then I downloaded 1633 from the free library, and followed by buying two more from Bean. I’m currently reading 1634 – The Baltic Wars, and will probably buy more of the series.

All of that being said; I would happily put up with DRM and pay a few dollars more to get them from Amazon, if they were available there, in order to avail myself of the WhisperSync feature. It’s not available for side loaded books, and I miss it mightily since I like reading on multiple platforms.
