Thank you for buying it!

Putting the book online is one of those things that turned out to be a real non-zero-sum proposition. It draws a lot of people into the book and gives them the ability to check it out before they buy it, which has certainly increased total sales and made me more money.

But, also, for those who can't easily afford it, it ensures they still have access to it, which is good for them.

Kind of an honor system market segmentation.
