I've read a whole lot less free books than I have downloaded. Most of the free books that I have read have been public domain books, but I've read a few free books that were free because the author chose not to charge for them. I've read perhaps 50 free books, counting the complete collection of Frank Baum's Oz books as separate books. I did pay for that collection, but I paid 95 cents for the whole collection.
When I decide to read any book, I only consider whether or not I want to read that book. No other book enters the calculation.
I have purchased a book after reading a free sample, but I have never paid for a book after having been given it for free. The books weren't shareware.
No, it hasn't influenced my opinion on how much books should cost.
