FREE: The Future of a Radical Price (Abridged) Audiobook

" Chris Anderson does it again with this great book on the new business model "Free". "

" This was an interesting read and my first free book on the Kindle from Amazon. I was able to reference a few of the chapters in my MIS class. "

" I got this for fifty cents at Big Lots. Overall, it wasn't bad. I especially enjoyed the prospects of how the free paradigm has affected how online business is run and how offline businesses are learning to adapt. It got a little sketchy toward the end, especially when Anderson addresses the arguments against free (nothing is truly free, et cetera). However, it was still an interesting read which I do recommend to anyone interested in technology and economics. There is a free version of this offered by the author for download (audio book), but this was worth the fifty cents. "

" Interesting book with nice hints of how the market is dealing with free stuff and the concept of abundance and zero cost. It's best to start reading from the Long Tail first, although. "

" Highly interesting read so far, aside form some obvious criticisms on "free" Anderson makes some good points about pricing "

" A pretty good overview of what's described in the title. I'm not sure that I completely believe all of his economic theories, but there are certainly plenty of intriguing anecdotes and ideas in here. "

" Reads more like a collection of articles from Wired, than book. A point could be made in half the size of it. Anyway, very comprehensive. "

" Heh heh heh... well done. "

" Chris Anderson has a proposal for us to consider: free would be the next business model. Some people might argue that they know everything that he needs to say (and that's true as well), but he takes effort to bring us MODELS, and convincing examples. As expected from the author of "The Long Tail". "

" Interesting book on free. It explains the two types of free and how it effects our life. I reallyt enjoy the part about Google and why they are always doing stuff for free. "

" Love him or vehemently disagree with him, Chris Anderson drives home the conundrum we are likely facing in many business verticals that have or will suffer from the introduction of digital. Beware, you might predict the end of your current job, kick in the ass? "

" Good concepts, principles and evidence of the free economy and it's workings. Too long for what it is trying to convey. Was the author paid per word? "

" A real eye opener when it comes to freeconomics. "

" I didn't really find this that insightful or even correct in certain parts. "

" Fantastic free mp3 audiobook! "

" Interesting look at the history of Free in merchandising and its implementation in the information age. Take heed! "

" I haven't finished it yet, just about 2/3 through, interesting ideas but I didn't really learn much except that maybe there is an economy created and spurred on by free. I liked some of the examples he used. I hope to finish it soon though.. "

" Unoriginal and dated, even when published in 2009, plus has a plagiarism controversy. "

" Good, fast paced nonfiction book. "

" This is causing me to totally rethink a project I'm embarking on. Not only is it potentially profitable, it is also a more joyful way to thinking. "

" This was fine--skimmed a lot but read it because I am interested in what it means to put free content on the web. The book illustrates various models of "Free" and how they work. "

" This book is more illuminating 8 years ago "

" Interesting read about freeconomics around the web. No silver bullet for making billions around free in the end though, was almost expecting.. "

" I found this book to be much like "The Long Tail"... "

" Gratiskan barang/jasa tapi masih dapat untung dan malah ekspansi...ada caranya di buku ini lho.. "

" Well worth reading but overdoes the lecture so outstays it's welcome. "

" Breezy, accessible, and generous. I came away with a truckload of new ideas and some interesting new viewpoints about Internet economics. "

" A contentious look at digital content and the practice of putting a price on all things “made of ideas.” "

" Interesting exploration of the ways companies can use free products to increase their business. I've certainly seen benefits from having my novel "Life, Love, and a Polar Bear Tattoo" available for free, and this book has encouraged me to think about ways to expand on that. "
