It is a good cause. Just not for me.
It's not a great cause IMO, they are selling the books they digitise on their website. How is this any different than SF Gateway? (other than the fact that Singularity want you to pay up front for acquiring the rights).

And this quote from the FAQ says they aren't even going to get the rights for everything they try and sell.
"Some of the books that we ebookify will be "orphaned," with no current copyright holder. Even so, we're going to do our very best track down the authors (or their estates) and get their blessing."
