Yeah, but if they'd sent an e-mail to me at the end of the promotion saying that things got pushed back a bit with an option to let me subscribe to a mailing list that would inform me when the series/books/authors I'm interested in are available as ebooks, they'd have gotten a lot more marketing momentum out of the exercise. I think.
Instant Edit: Basically, I am happy with the free samples, and have enjoyed several of them tremendously. As a marketing effort I think it was pretty poor.
