Fictionwise does have one of his books from a St. Martin's imprint (
http://fictionwise.com/ebooks/eBook2116.htm) copyright 2002 at a HARDBACK price. Again, convoluted logic - are they trying to 'prove' there is no ebook market? Why would someone buy an ebook at around $17 after rebates that you can probably pick up in a dead tree edition for around $8?
As far as Baen goes, I have downloaded many of the books from the 'free' library to have as options when I travel, but when I read them I go back and pay for them after the fact. I use a similar approach at podiobooks.com fwiw.
