Piers Anthony implied on his site that he did not thing the Baen Free Library would succeed.

BAEN BOOKS - www.baen.com/library/. This is a traditional publisher, offering a number of titles for free downloading, trusting that this will in the end generate more sales. I'll be interested to see if that works.
I don't think Piers Anthony is giving an opinion here one way or another. But I think he must have written this some time ago. The Baen Free Library has been going for nearly 10 years now, and Baen seems to be doing very well indeed.
