I was not basing my choice of paid vs. free for any other consideration then the selections chosen vs. those not chosen. Using Horror (again), we did have books nominated like Rosemary's Baby and Carrie yet we ended up with Camilla. That's not fair to those that wanted a book that was possibly scary. The free choice tok away from a good read for a poor read (IMHO).
For me, this was never about money but about an enjoyable read. Not all free eBooks are poor reads. But it's when they are chosen (because the are free) over a better read that I feel the problem arises.
If a book is chosen that I want to read and it's not free (Overdrive) or at a price I am willing to pay, I'll borrow the pBook from the library (if possible). The romance runner-up; if it had won, I would have read it in paper form because of the illustrated version is better then the eBook.
