Some explanation from Stripe Press about the free, online version being made available...
"But with the news of Charlie’s death at the age of 99 last Tuesday, November 28, this work has taken on a new significance for all of us. ... Charlie's words are immortal, and they deserve to be shared far and wide. So we’re especially excited to share a free, online version of the book. It includes archival images from Charlie’s life, audio narration, and some other surprises. We hope that you enjoy it—and that it helps you, to quote Charlie, "be a little wiser than you were when you woke up.”"
