This is what I mean. I used to download every freebie just because it was free. I cannot tell you how many free Amish romances I've collected; I can tell you how many I've read: none. But they were free, they take up no space, maybe someday I'll read them. If they cost anything--even a nickel!--I wouldn't bother. But at no cost, they're irresistible.
