(Don't) Steal This Album! It's now cheaper. | Metafilter: "In another medium, Baen books (www.baen.com) has put out a free library of books (http://www.baen.com/library/) and are selling some of their old collection and many of their new books as ebooks (http://www.webscription.net).



They've found that the books they've offered for free have actually increased in sales.



I've got a much bigger book habit than a music habit, and I've been happily paying Webscriptions for new books as they comes out or old books I'd like to carry around on my PDA.



The music industry could do worse than look at Baen's experiment."
