At some point they may read those and if the book was good enough, the will then go look for more books by that author.
This used to be my approach until I realised that I was just building up my own personal "slush pile". I wasn't reading from these books very often and the pile was growing much more quickly than I could ever read. In short I'd just moved the problem of TOO MUCH CHOICE from the ebook store to my Calibre library.

So I went through my library and got rid of a most of the free books. Now anything in there is something I intend to read. I'm currently on a self-imposed ban of acquiring any new books until my TBR list is reduced.
