Well, if the shop was in orbit or deep under the sea...
I always first check MR, even when the same book exists on PG. So, however infinitesimally small the value of "proofed and prepared by MR users" label is in comparison to the authors work, it still exists.
I wouldn't feel cheated to spend a couple of bucks for Penguin's electronic edition of the classic work, despite the fact that it is available as a free download from PG site. For a "luxurious" ebook version of the classical work to show up, the right to sell PD work has to exist.
