I've been mostly disappointed in free offers. The classics are fine, but I'm not always in the mood for those. Most of the stuff given away from modern authors is not very good. I have yet to read one of these free first book in a series and feel I had found a new series to read.
My good source for free books is the library, but I wonder how much longer that one is going to last. I've actually bought my first book in a long time from Amazon. They have some really hard to find books from Prometheus for $10 and reading a quality book is worth $10 especially when most of them are out of print and cost 3 times that much on paper. These are of course topaz format that Amazon scans themselves, but I'm finding the first book from James Randi to be well scanned and enjoyable to read.
