Exhibit 5.1
InfoNow Corporation
1875 Lawrence Street, Suite 1100
Denver, CO 80202
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to InfoNow Corporation (the "Company") in connection
with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement") registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, an aggregate of 536,842 shares (the "Shares") of common stock of the
Company ("Common Stock"). As such, we have examined the Registration Statement,
the Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (as amended), and minutes of
meetings of the Company's Board of Directors.
Based upon the foregoing, and assuming that the Shares will be sold in
accordance with the Registration Statement at a time when effective, we are of
the opinion that, the shares of Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable securities of the Company.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the references to our firm in the Prospectus which is made a
part of the Registration Statement.
Sincerely,
CHRISMAN, BYNUM & JOHNSON, P.C.
