It's just that Baen and WebScriptions aren't a general bookstore. They're a publisher and it's main web outlet. With deals with a number of other small publishers (like Subterranean and Night Shade Books). And a deal with Tor coming Real Soon Now (or so rumor has it). You're right, however, that they don't carry the entire NYT bestseller list (as B&N and Amazon do in paper and Amazon and Sony attempt to do in bits).

Ok, very simple question: What Baen will do if you purchase one most popular book for $5 from them and post it as a free download on this forum and after it 1000 visitors will dowload it for free? Can we say that they will loose some money on it or not?
