O’Reilly Radar’s Tim O’Reilly has a great post about the tradeoffs in making content freely available online. “We find that making a book freely available can help visibility and sales of a book on a little-known topic, but for a well-known topic or author, who benefits little from the additional exposure (like Scott Adams), it can have a slight cannibalization effect on print sales.”
