I would almost definitely download and read it. I might get around to
paypal (more likely since I know you, but a decent (lower than 50%)
chance even if I'd never met you, if I liked the book).

However, if it were in print, there's an extremely low chance that I'd
read the book at all. I mostly read etexts only these days (although I
do every so often read an actual book for the retro thrill).
