Very cool site. I wonder how the authors get compensated? I don’t see anything for sale on the site.

On the site it says, “WOWIO is a new kind of online bookstore that enables readers to download ebooks for free, using commercial sponsorships to compensate authors and publishers. Readers get free ebooks. Sponsors get a powerful new channel to communicate their message to precisely the people they want to reach. Publishers get a new means of distributing their books, expanding their readership, and monetizing their intellectual property.”
I haven’t seen any sponsors on the site either, but maybe you see when you download a book? Not sure.
