In my case, it's called "I read a lot and I'm on a budget."
The only time I have an obligation to provide timely feedback is when I've been given a copy specifically for the purpose of review - a mutual agreement between myself and the author. I have gotten those, and I have upheld my end of the bargain.
Plus, a lot of the freebies I get on retail sites are given away by the publisher to promote an author who has an upcoming release. It's not done to get reviews, it's done to generate sales of the other works.
