well – what people don’t know is that Harper Collins only launched this free online reading site after the bestselling author Paulo Coelho revealed his pirate coelho blog to the world during the DLD conference in Munich last January.
I read the interveiw he gave for Newsweek and can’t help to join the dots:

I doubt Harper Collins would have made such a move without this author’s pressure.
Thumbs up for Pirate Coelho!
