Another question: As I go through some of the older bundles (the ones I am looking at now are from 2000) I find that many of the books are in the free library. Why would I ever pay for a book that I can get for $0? So many other times I have been puzzling something out where it seems that there is something going on that I do not understand and perhaps that is the problem here. Perhaps Baen will take some selected books and make them available for $0, I notice that a lot of these free books tend to be the first in a series of books. when I started out with the Honor Harringtion series last year the first two books in the series were and still are free. I saw that and I have no problem getting hooked on the first one or two in a series then paying for the remainder since I get a chance to evaluate the author's writting style before I comit my hard earned dollars.

Does Baen put books into their free library after the book has gone out in a bundle such as in the february 2000 bundle there was 1632, which I know I got for $0 some time later?
