New Science Books to be Available Free Online

fm6 writes: Bloomsbury Publishing, best known for the Harry Potter books, has announced a new series of science books that will be available for free online. Bloomsbury thinks they can make enough money off of hard-copy sales to turn a "small profit". The online version will be covered by a Creative Commons license which allows free non-commercial use. They've already had some success with the one book they've published this way, Larry Lessig's "Remix: Making Art and Commerce thrive in the Hybrid Economy". The series, "Science, Ethics and Innovation", will be edited by Sir John Sulston, Nobel prize winner and one of the architects of the Human Genome Project.
