Hi HarryT,
I think that selling optimized PDs is perfectly fine, as long as people know that the book is a PD and is converted.
Selling PDs in with other books without saying anywhere that they are PDs just seems shady to me. Most people aren't going to know that they can get them free elsewhere. They see a classic title they read as a kid and think, "hey, it's only a couple of bucks, I might as well get it."
A while back I downloaded one of your Edgar Rice Burroughs Omnibuses for my Sony readers (thanks, BTW; it's really good, and must've taken you a lot of time).
Would you feel feel right about encrypting it and then selling it for $15 to people that simply don't know they get it for free somewhere else?
Cooler charges $1.40 for Gods of War alone, and next to it there's a crossed out $1.75 list price, with no mention of it being a "classic" or PD.
Very shady in my book.
