The likely causality is that lovers of SF/F first discovered eBooks through Baen and thus became fans of electronic readers. I wouldn't expect someone who didn't like SF/F to suddenly start reading it just because Baen offered eBooks. |
True. That would be like everyone starting to eat escargot simply because a local restaurant started offering it for free for a limited time. Some might try it, but others would pass the offer by.
