Wow. A publisher actually figured out the secret of online text content: People don't want to read a novel-length text piece on a screen. Even if you post the whole thing, people will want a print version. Printing it out on paper is time consuming, and your printer paper and ink probably aren't as good as what's in the book. Therefore, most people who find the free version online will end up buying the print version.
