Hi Taylor (an others),
I just wanted to add my two cents and say that I really appreciated the free books from TOR. I was disappointed that for example I could not easily purchase an eBook follow-up to some of the stories, but I paid nothing for the eBooks and thoroughly enjoyed a number of them.

For me it is really no different to a public library stocking part one of a series and choosing not to stock future releases if the first book was unpopular.

I agree entirely that is seems a curious promotion, since they are not promoting an eBook store, but I remain grateful for the free reads and hold no animosity to TOR.
