Sure, you can download PD books for free. But can you get them in a format you can conveniently read on your mobile device?
I have the ability to get PD texts and reformat them, but if I got an iPhone (and I've
no plans to do so), I might go for a deal like this. If the books were at all well adapted for the iPhone, it might make sense to buy them at 99 cents. I tend to place a decent value on my time, and using that measure, it would cost me more than 99 cents to do it myself.
