Absolutely right. I'm tracking downloads, and the higher the count the more excited my publisher will be about the whole 'giving it away free' concept. No problem with format shifting for your own use though.
The second part of the equation is word of mouth. People talking about the books, reviewing them, blogging about them, etc. You can't buy word of mouth ... all any writer can do is put out the best book they can and hope people discover & enjoy it.
