That's an interesting point because there are a number of Amazon ebook writers who's main impetus for publishing is notoriety or the spread of an ideal as opposed to economic compensation. For example, Tom Meritt of CNET makes money by being an internet personality, so the fame he gets from his book increases his value as a commentator or host.

Using the model you suggest, Tom could freeride on more successful, better known books on the same topics while happily being offered as a packaged free ebook.
