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.
if you're drowning in books and it's a time issue, why would being free make you have more time to read it? Also why would anybody care about people that are too cheap to pay 3 dollars for a book?
