Fre(e)-books

There are only a couple ways to get free e-books. There's the illegal way like downloading from a bittorrent like Mininova, the it's so-old-its-no-longer-copyrighted via places like books.google, and most recently Yale Press' foray into new media. Yale has recently announced that reader can download The Future of Reputation by Daniel Solove and The Wealth of Networks by Yochai Benkler. Will it work? Will it help sales? Spurn sales?

Only time will tell.

However, I'd like to commend Yale Press for testing out new models.
