Getting me to read something is a much greater problem than getting me to pay for something, I think.
I'm not likely to pay for anything I haven't sampled, but how can you persuade me to read a sample? I came to Wool through recommendations in here.
I will happily download freebies at random, but when will I ever look at them?

a dance of cloaks is awesome. its a little confusing at first as all the characters are introduced but its a great series. david dalglish is one of the indies that i'd pay top dollar for. if you like action packed sword&sorcery he's definitely an author to support.
personally i just take peeks at samples if i'm unsure. i'm usually not compelled to sit and read the whole thing, i just give a quick skim to check formatting and writing style. with most purchases i just end up going with my gut feeling.
