It could also be that this latest book is bought because of the fact that the others are on CD: people have read a lot of her work for free, and now want it to be complete. It is certainly possible that many people who now buy Memory, would not have bought it otherwise, but we'll never know for sure.
I still think that the CD's were no problem in the time there weren't a lot of e-readers; they were just marketing. People would read some chapters on the computer, and end up buying the books anyway, in the end. Now that there are e-readers (instead of computers, laptops or PDA's), the CD's are a liability. Nobody who has an e-reader will buy the e-book or the paperback if they know of the existence of the Baen CD's.
