In a similar vein, I downloaded and read the "pre-release" version of the final Harry Potter before it hit the store shelves. I had already pre-ordered a copy from Amazon, however.
The wrinkle is that I had pre-ordered it as a Christmas present for my mother. I'm not sure, however, I can see a difference between that and just reading the pbook before wrapping it up; either way works out to 1 sale, 2 readers.
