Author Paulo Coelho Pirates His Own Books (and increases sales) – The famous Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho, author of novels such as “The Alchemist”, “Veronika Decides to Die”, “The Devil and Miss Prym” who had already accustomed us with having enormous success, enjoyed a fabulous book-selling also in 2007 (100 million books). He thinks that partly accountable for this success was BitTorrent, because he says he noticed a massive sales boost after his books were made available on sites like The Pirate Bay. TorrentFreak interviewed Coelho to learn the truth behind this story.

Some Links From Kevin;
Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/
Baen Books (http://www.baen.com/) – This publisher specializes in the harder Science Fiction, but they really understand the new media landscape. They not only offer most of their books DRM-free and in multiple formats, but they also have the Baen Free Library, where they offer selected books free of charge. The hope is that with the first taste free, you will want to buy more. And it works. I went there to see what they had, discovered that they had the entire collected works of one of my favorite authors (James H. Schmitz) for sale, and bought the lot of them.
Tor/Forge books (http://www.tor.com/blogs/
Angry Robot (http://angryrobotbooks.com/) – Along with Baen, a pioneer in selling DRM-free books in the Science Fiction and Fantasy fields.
Avon Romance (http://www.avonromance.com/) – A major publisher of romance novels, they just announced that they are experimenting with DRM-free ebook sales.
O’Reilly Media (http://oreilly.com) – The premiere publisher of technical books, they pretty get everything right. They sell e-books without DRM. When a new edition of a book you already bought comes out you can “upgrade” for a nominal fee (e.g. I upgraded my Kevin Purdy “Android” book for $1). And with older books that they think are no longer worth in print, they are removing the copyright and
O’Reilly Open Books (http://oreilly.com/openbook/) making them freely available
ManyBooks.net (http://manybooks.net/) – This site has a lot of overlap with Project Gutenberg, but also has some newer works that have been made available, such as Charles Stross’s Accelerando
Fictionwise (http://www.fictionwise.com/
Cory Doctorow (http://craphound.com/?cat=5) – Cory was one of the first authors to make a point of offering all of his works not only DRM-free but free of charge in e-book formats from his Web site. But you know, when the book he co-authored with Charles Stross “Rapture of the Nerds” came out recently I went to the Google Play store and bought it.
DriveThru Fiction (http://www.drivethrufiction.
Apress (http://www.apress.com/) – A publisher of technical books that also offers reduced-price e-books if you have already purchased the print title. This is something I’d like to see more of.
Packt Publishing (http://www.packtpub.com/) – Another technical book publisher with DRM-free books.
