This is not apologetics on my part, to be clear, I don't think these business reasons trump the various ethical reasons to release PDFs. And as I said, things flip for big hot ticket attention-grabbing items that can build steam on their own. But like the little historian who wrote a volume on a tiny corner of anarchist history might not get more than 10 sales without the benefit of the above tricks to increase sales.
