Thanks, ATDrake, for such a thoughtful and thorough reply.

Like you, I don't feel "obligated" to buy a sequel to something I have obtained free. I simply meant if one enjoyed something -- I discovered Elizabeth George's Inspector Lynley through a Kobo library download -- I'm more likely to include the author the next I am buying at Amazon or Kobo.

I'm not sure publisher's "take the hint" with free downloads ... but if it spikes the "for a fee" titles, they'll notice. At least, the marketer in me believes they will.

The other "meme" pressing up against my pant leg, however, is that ... hey! there's only so much time in the day and one's day's are numbered. Do I really need to "clutter" up my ereader with stuff I am unlikely to read? Seriously: I might get through 2000 more books before I croak. And that's at 60 books a year -- and leaving Buddenbrooks or War and Peace out of the mix!
