Talk:Baen Free Library

message: I thought this section would look good as a formated table, but it is not working for imbedding links.  Can anyone figure out how to make it present nicely and still allow user-customers to navigate links?

thread_title: Troubles in Paradise

message: I don't think the section on current titles is necessary or a good use of our time.  The Library itself keeps a current list - all anyone should have to do is go there to view it.  It is all a bunch of duplicate effort, if you ask me.  But I didn't delete the section - if someone wants to keep it updated, that's fine.  While you're at it, why don't you keep an updated list on the iTunes article of all titles available there.  ;-)  Roachmeister 17:14, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's not necessary. But it is useful, because the Baen website has lists by title and by author, but not by both together. It also gives you an idea of which authors are very keen on the Free Library idea, which I find quite interesting. And long as it is, it's still quite a bit shorter than the iTunes catalog ... and (more importantly) changes much less often! Cheers, CWC 02:01, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  We don't need to list the current titles 

message: The article contains the sentence, "It was founded in autumn 1999 by science fiction writer Eric Flint and publisher Jim Baen to determine whether the availability of books free of charge on the Internet encourages or discourages the sale of their paper books." but gives no indication of what the answer was. Did it help sales or hurt them???  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.226.91.213 (talk) 00:13, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Was this ever in question? My impression, from the first days of the library, was that Flint and Baen knew perfectly well that it would help sales, and they were simply trying to prove it. If that's correct, it should probably be mentioned in the article. Dstar3k (talk) 05:09, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Does anyone have something we could cite? Cheers, CWC 12:31, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

message: Those are now accessible from here: http://www.baen.com/library/prime_palaver.asp
I'd update them, but kinda busy right now. Hopefully someone else can do it. If not, I'll get back to it eventually. 85.138.93.166 (talk) 14:35, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
