I owe the author the cover price. Maybe. I get library books, paid for by my taxes. I get PD books. I buy books. I owe the author not to pirate their books.
If an author chooses to give me a free book, that is their free choice. It is my free choice if I leave a review. I might choose to do that. It won't necessarily be favourable.
If someone writes poor books with no glimmer of hope that they will ever write something worth reading then I don't believe I should give that person false hope.
While I am on my soapbox, will all the wannabe writers please take note. Proofreading for correct spelling and punctuation is not an optional extra. A halfway reasonable cover image is also a good idea. If that is impossible, then a legible title on a plain background is acceptable.
Thank you
