Free or Pass?
For several weeks I was offering coupons for my novel Boomerang at a few ebook forums. The response was really nice, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a few dozen actual sales both on Smashwords and Amazon Kindle along with a few hundred free downloads.
My question is this: As an ebook person, do you only check out a new author if his/her work can be gotten for free? And if so, if you find a writer you like through free offers, are you apt to tell others about your discovery? Thanks! Alan |

Hm - I'll generally try out new authors if someone whose taste I trust recommends them, free or not.
And of course, I return the favor by recommending books I think they'll like. Free is good, but actually, cheap might even be better. Weird, but that's how it is. |

plumboz, you seem to have started three threads on this topic, which is an unnecessary duplication. I'm closing this one, and suggest that people comment in this thread instead:
