This has been done before, I once downloaded a book called "the hacker
crackdown" (or something like that). The author reached some agreement with
his publisher in order to allow FTP access to a plaintext form of it. This
was in '93 I think, and less people had FTP access back then. The publishers
may not be too keen to do something similar now that the 'net's just about
everywhere.
