Worried publishers question the wisdom of offering books for free:
When will they learn what we are learning, that giving facilitates getting, in Web 2.0 as well as in private life?
That a little vision carries you a long way.
"The publishing community has endlessly debated the effects of making text available online, with some saying that free downloading is a valuable promotional tool and others worrying that sales for paper editions would be harmed."
So Oprah helped Suze give away 1,000,000 copies in 33 hours. How many new fans will she have created, and how many new sales will be generated?
And I wonder if they had to "Register" to have their contact information "captured" to download the content?
Me? I would settle for creating a "Web Sensation!"
