Except that his concept only works if you are also publishing pbooks and most people buy pbooks.

If a publisher wants to self publish ebooks only, giving them away hoping to get name recognition so he will sell more paper books doesn't really work.

Also Doctorow's marketing plan won't work in 20 years where the majority of books are ebooks and paper is basically relegated to museums.
