I think that Ayiekie's point of piracy = hurt sales may be (and probably is) true for software.
But books are not software, and there are distinct benefits to having a physical copy over a digital copy (even if I sometimes forget that).

But Ayiekie requested evidence, so here is what I can find:
Baen (previously mentioned)
Scientific study of 41 books and how free ebooks affected sales (hint: they went up)
And several authors have also tried this out and found it works:
Nathan Henrion, Peter Watts and Cory Doctorow are just the ones I can remember. I'm sure there are others out there that I don't know of.
