25 Baen Cds with Full of Free Ebooks
The Baen CDs hosted on the site linked on this page are freely-distributable disks provided to promote the sale of the books contained within. Baen allows these CDs to be distributed not simply to provide free electronic copies of their books, but to generate sales for those same books. They are a medium of advertising.
These CDs are generally available bound into the first edition of the books they are titled for. A few of the CDs (those marked with the P prefix) are not bound in any book and were made available as publishing industry promotional material.
Please remember that just because these books are being provided at no cost does not mean that they are in the Public Domain. Baen still retains their copyrights on these materials. So all the rules that apply to an ebook you bought and paid for also apply to these titles.
If you download any of the disks, please take the time to go to the Baen eBooks site and buy a copy of at least the CD’s primary ebook. For a modest investment of about $$9.99, or less, you can buy the eBook. Or you can buy the entire Webscription month that the CD accompanies for $18 and/or buy the book in paper form. For more freely downloadable Baen books, visit the Baen Free Library.
