There's a difference between free on the internet and a free book. Most people 
expect things on the internet to be free and books to cost money. And as soon 
as you're dealing with something that normally costs money being free, many 
people think that free item is junk or a scam of some kind. How prevalent such 
thinking would be about an e-book on D, I don't know. But there's a definite 
difference between free online and a free book.
