Freebies are my top way of finding new authors right now.
I read science fiction and fantasy and find new free ebooks from Baen Books, Kindle and other places. Many I find in the forums here.
I have found some great new authors and gone on to buy additional ebooks from these authors.
Yes, I do find some poor ones, but I just delete them after a few chapters if they don't grab me. And I have had that same problem with paid books in the past. With free ones, there is no risk.
I also do like that I can read some chapters of books online before I buy as well. Great way to try the book before I buy.
