I missed this offer but I am curious: Why did you choose to offer the second book in the series as the free book rather than the first? Had I been in time for the offer, I might have downloaded the book "just in case" I ever got around to buying the first book, but I would not have read it until I had read the first book in the series.
Usually authors offer the first book in a series as the free book, hoping to interest the reader enough to go and buy the other volumes.
I'm also curious as to why you chose to offer the book at Goodreads rather than Smashwords. I prefer to buy my ebooks at Smashwords because I can choose the format I want and get a DRM-free version. If I buy at B&N, I have to strip the DRM and Goodreads appears to let you read the book online, something I never do, but not download an ePub version (unless I'm missing something about Goodreads).
As a Sony owner, my usual ebookstore haunts are Sony, Smashwords, and B&N (because it is easy to strip the DRM).
