What stops you from downloading the books from Baen and importing them into calibre? Certainly not DRM since Baen doesn't use DRM. Considering the changes that Baen makes now and then to their site, scripting the downloads would climbing on the Red Queen's racetrack (been there, done that and realized I was spending more time chasing changes than it would take to manually download and import the books to calibre).

Check the continual messages in the Recipes forum for more enlightenment.

And more or less finally, FFF is FanFicFare. Asking it to be a commercial site downloader is a bit beyond what it was designed for. If Baen gets added, what's next? Amazon? Kobo? Apple? Google?
