Okay, here's why I ask. I recently listed one of my novels on the LibraryThing member giveaway page. I offered 25 copies free for download, the understanding being that people who get a copy will at least consider providing a short review. The way this works is that LibraryThing members then sign up in what is essentially a raffle to win a free copy. Typically the number of entrants is greater than the number of books. That was true in my case as well. But I found that of the 25 winners, five actually downloaded the novel. I'm wondering if this is the usual experience or if something very particular is going on.
