However - how computer literate is he? I have this DVD of all the Baen Free CD's plus the Free Library. It needs a functioning DVD drive and a web-browser. Alternatively, I can create a zip of the whole file tree and e-mail it to you. It would be a way to sample a big chunk of the Baen catalog - and practically the whole Baen author stable - for free. He wouldn't have to read whole books - he could read the first chapter or two and then decide whether or not to get the book he's reading / other books by that author.
Looking at your list - hard SF. What's his opinion of Hal Clement? Maybe David Weber, Charlie Stross, Robert Sawyer? Some Hogan. Some Robert L. Forward.
