My own experience, for what it's worth: I originally charged for all my ebooks, and got a trickle of sales. I decided to make the first one free, and fairly rapidly found it getting thousands of downloads - and hundreds of sales of the later books.
I think that even $1.99 can be a barrier when it comes to trying the work of an unknown author who's just another unfamiliar name.
