Baen Free Library

A few days ago, I took an awkward stance of defending Amazon's decision to have DRM in their books, while at the same time stating that I did not believe DRM to be a good idea.

Today I ran across a nice article on why DRM is a bad deal for authors, posted by an author who as made some of his works available for free download; and has encouraged other authors to do the same. He makes some interesting points.

Baen practices what they preach. I have read a bunch of their freely available novels and they introduced me to authors where I bought novels not available for free.

Seems to make a lot of sense.

I'm just getting started with them. Any recommends of particularly good titles?

"1632" looks pretty interesting...
