None. Zero. Zip. I've tried over a dozen free books and most of them have been little better than fan fiction. I can think of two that I've tried that I might consider reading all the way through.

Agreed. But its just the nature of the beast that established authors get more reads and therefore I get more recommendations concerning them from people I trust.

The first book should be free. Or at least make a few chapters available for free. Then, if I like it, I would be willing to pay up to $10 bucks for an e-book by the same author. Its really rare that I buy any HC books these days, the author has to be one of my absolute favs.
