This is a great argument. Except for the whole part where Baen are selling $25 hardcovers in numbers large enough to hit the NYT best-seller list - David Weber's last half-dozen novels have all hit it in hardcover, for example, as have some of the other authors they publish.

I'm anything but a fan of Weber's work - I've read a couple of his free books, and thought they were worth considerably less than what I paid for them - but obviously enough people disagree with me to qualify him as a AAA author if we're using new hardcover sales as a measuring stick.
