Probably wouldn't be the most productive use of time for their assistants; it's hard to be influential while needing the sort of money you can make reselling free book copies.

I think if it's not a productive waste of time for their assistant, they need another assistant. Assistants don't require nearly as much pay as influential people.

This is especially true since they don't need to sell the books immediately. If they never have time for that, they're clearly overworked.
