Isn't there an American saying; "There is no such thing as a free lunch"? Hence, there is also, in my mind, an unwritten social contract between an author - providing a book free of charge - and a reader taking advantage of that offer. Granted, that doesn't imply a review within a few days, but certainly within a few weeks.
I don't know about the rest of y'all, but when I go to an All You Can Eat Buffet, and people hoard four plates and stack food on top of each other, I loose my appetite. Readers hoarding books like that is just as unappetizing.
If I submitted a book for free reading it would come with a contract. 50 free books, each reader signing a contract that they will read the book withing three weeks, and submit a review in another week. Seems fair to everyone involved.
