The book is small, highly readable, very resiliant does not require battery and no ned to download stuff into it when you want to carry a story with you! O course the DRM is the coup de grace particularly when they try to sell publique domain books protected with DRM! They really think that people are stupid!

Top authors such as Harry Turtledove, David Weber and John Ringo are all on the site and you can download full versions of their, and may other author's, books. And the downloads come in serveral different formats. It's a great way to sample new authors by being able to read a full book in the comfort of your home. Far better than quickly reading a few pages in a bookstore. --- Rincewind The Baen Free Library is a great feature on the Baen Books website.
