I only buy from Smashwords now if there are really good reviews, or if I've read and enjoyed other works by the same author. This is because some of the books I've purchased (or downloaded for free) from them were unspeakably bad. So, I'm not as willing to take a chance anymore on something just because the excerpt sounds interesting. I did, however, find a gem of a series there. The Sentence of Marriage series was surprisingly good, I thought. The first book was free, and I enjoyed it so much that I was more than willing to purchase the other books.
