To paraphrase my mom: "Life's too short to read bad books!"
Before getting an ereader, I was picky in choosing either purchased books or library books (before I lugged library books back and forth - I wanted to be doubly sure I'd read them ... they're heavy!).
Now that I have an ereader (and a 125+ To Be Read "pile" - that never seems to get shorter), I no longer have to worry about running out of books to read.
So, if a book doesn't catch my interest, I'll dump it and move on to another, whether its free, paid for or a library book.
And, I'm definitely not very discriminatory in downloading free e-books. If it sounds remotely interesting, I'll download it (hence, the big TBR list). Then, when I get to it, I'll either enjoy it or "throw it away." Guilt-free.
I don't throw them away though - still can't do that, even with e-books. Paper books I keep (for library/garage sales); e-books get archived in Calibre.
Just can't throw them out - even if I only read the first chapter...
