Date: 2011-01-20 06:57 am (UTC)I know that I'd love to see more numbers from publishers (as opposed to authors) who are doing free giveaways and selling DRM-free ebooks, especially Baen Books (they have a free online library) and O'Reilly Publishing (their numbers are mostly from 2007). I think that given how the economy of the internet/fandom works that the DRM-free ebooks and offering free books (say, free first two books in a ten book series) will be the future of things, but numbers are always helpful. I should also keep in mind that although they get brought up at the same time, that DRM-free ebooks and offering books for free are two totally separate things. XD
I'm totally interested in seeing how things unfold in the next five years. :)
