Thanks dwanthny for clarifying.
Let me make this clear. open Books does not sell books. open books does not pirate books or provide them free.
open books catalogues titles and authors and provides links to the websites where the books are already available. it's a website where people can surf for books from Baen, smashwords fictionwise amazon (DRM-free) etc all together and then once they find the book they are looking for they click on the link which takes them to the Baen, smashwords fictionwise, amazon etc. website to purchase it from them by paying them.
Open books does not take a cut. Our only aim is to make DRM-free options easily accessible so people see the obvious advantages of DRM-free e-books and know where to find them.
We thought it would be good to provide users of calibre with an immediate database of DRM-free e-books so they can use the full extent of calibres features.
