Getting back to the thread topic (sort of), I won't read any of your books because none of them are free. That's in spite of the fact that you're only charging $2.99, some of them are in a genre I quite enjoy (scifi) and the fact that you seem to be able to string a sentence together well enough.

That might seem like an over developed sense of entitlement, but it's really just that I value the $2.99 and my time more than what I estimate the likelihood of enjoying the book to be. I'm already drowning in books that I know or believe will be good, why would I bother taking a chance on an unknown quantity like yours?

If one were free, I might download and read. And if I read the freebie, I might never pay for another one, but at least there's a chance; as it is right now, there isn't even that slim chance of me buying.
