Quite the opposite, I think.  I've been lured by a number of openly 
available texts (or MP3's) and then gone on to buy the real article.
It's very handy to have a clickable, searchable version of a reference 
manual, but there are times (especially when you aren't sure what you're 
looking for) that you want the paper version.  I need and use both, so
I think in the long term this will both help sales of the book and 
further promote Ruby to those with casual interest.
