haziz 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2020 I have taken advantage of some of those in the recent past. I am just curious, what is the incentive for the publisher, or Amazon for that matter, in distributing an electronic copy of their book for free? Many of the books are in fact fairly recent, so it is not a matter of copyright expiration. Is it just author pride, when dealing with an out of print book? Is there a paradoxical economic incentive?

dave 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2020 That's a good question and I don't really have a good answer. It may be like the old "lost leaders" stores use to get you into the store and buy other stuff. Their free books generally consists of stuff you wouldn't pay for but at times they offer some very good books so I have the site bookmarked and check it frequently. I don't own a Kindle and have no intention of ever getting one but I have the Kindle app on my desktop and iPad. I actually prefer the printed book but what the heck-free is free.
