Just had a look at www.craphound.com – the website of Science Fiction author Cory Doctorow.  He released his third book for free download on the net on the same day as the books hit the bookstores.

He reasons that p2p networks will soon have all books available, so why fight it.  When he released his first book on the web for free download, sales of the physical book increased.

The future of publishing?
