I went a little overboard with free books earlier in the year, when they finally became available for me as actually free on Amazon instead of the $2.30 they would have cost me earlier (with the $2 surcharge + tax on top of that), but I've cut down on free ones considerably lately, getting them only when they were already on my wish list or when they're trad-pubbed and actually sound interesting. I've mostly focused on reading the ones I've paid money for, though.
My averages are for paid books. I don't count free ebooks for most things - not in averages calculation, nor do I add them to my TBR list. I think the only place I count them is in my 'books read' total.

So feel free to collect as many free ebooks as you like - we don't count them in this thread.
