Free's is nice, but we're saying cheaper, not necessarily free.
You make a lot more money on one 99 cent sale then on no $2.99 sales.
And we're not saying
any stuff, we're saying specifically the first book of a series, particularly an SF series. We SF readers seem to respond to that.
I think it's because it's like an invitation into a new universe....

No one is saying that. But it might mitigate a few of them.

People also have to know about it. I'm not saying I represent all of your potential readership, but I, for one, never heard of you, or the Kestral series, before the piracy thread this week.
