Note that Eric Flint's free ebooks still sell in bits as well as on paper. Quite a few folks look at the (quite reasonable) prices at the Webscriptions web site and go ahead and buy the book anyway. Why not? It's cheap enough, and it supports the author and the only major fiction publisher that actually 'gets it' about eBooks!

P.S. I'm not bothering with the "buy in paper because they don't want to read on a screen" sales, 'cause they're not relevant to MobileRead.
