More about Baen...curious, indeed!

Now this is interesting to me...

NatCh tells us that Baen shows a profit, specifically on their *eBook* store.

I will take it as read that this is strictly on the eBook store as opposed to the pBooks doing a spread and covering losses..but even still...

As I'm quite open to learning and such, I decided to check the "seedy underground...the soft underbelly of the Internet" for the authors mentioned previously in this thread...and I found (easily) I believe every eBook from every single one of them in like 5 minutes.

Seriously.

This makes me wonder, then, if Baen can show this on paper to some folks...why on Earth don't they have some of those Oprah Book Club types in their stable?!

The above SHOULD NOT BE MISCONSTRUED as accusatory or a maligning of Baen in any way. People get...touchy around here, heheh.

I'm really curious about this! I mean, if what I understand is correct, Baen is sitting on the paperwork that demonstrates that a whole hell of a lot of people are dead wrong about losing trucks of money t freely traded eBooks.

What's going on here?
