The big thing for me is that it definitely has driven sales of the later books in the series. I'm now selling 40-50 copies a month and I believe it's definitely related to having the first one being free. Even with free samples easily accessible, I think readers like having the ability to try an entire work without any risk or commitment.

That has been my experience also. I highly recommend that way of starting out to all new indy authors.
