I don't know.
Did you read the thread? I mean I can understand some of her perspective. It's just I am Pro Non-DRM and all for promoting and protecting publishers who go that route. I felt she was discussing a matter that should've been between her and her publisher instead of taking public. It was a tasteless thing to do and put BAEN in a bad light.
I'm more than willing to buy the book and get the books that way but I don't want to support an author who cries fowl as someone put it.

I don't know....I do know the game has changed with ebooks being more popular than physical these days. So the free backlists promos may no longer work like Mr. Baen intended. Still I say this is something to take up with her publisher not her fans.
However I can say I have bought many books from authors who gave away free books as a promo. Amazon is always getting me to buy some self publisher back list titles because I got a few free. Just this last week I purchased several books that were next in the series from free books I've gotten the previous week.
