Of course, anyone aware of both of these facts will probably be smart enough to:
- Download the book, if they want to.
- Send money directly to the foundation (cutting out the publisher
and any other intermediaries), if they want to. So the proceeds might be on the meager side, though hopefully enough to cover production expenses... (?)
Theose likely to think of doing that, and interested, are geeks. Geeks, in my long experience, like being snowed under with books. I'm not sure this is a group of potential customers one needs to worry about :-)
