2. World-Wide Impact

If you publish a free medical textbook, anticipate the following returns:

1. You will transmit your experience to your colleagues around the world.
2. You will have at least 10 times as many readers as with a printed book. 50,000 downloads per year is one download every 10 minutes, throughout every single day and night of the year.
