the poll doesn't seem to cover my answer. i've discovered authors because one of their ebooks was free, and if i really enjoyed the free ebook, i'm fairly likely to buy other books by the author. i've done that time after time. it's a lot easier to get to know an author's voice by reading more of a book than just a short sample, and there are several authors i've found via giveaways that i've paid for more than 6 books from each.

that also applies to really cheap ebooks. i just finished a bargain book, went to amazon and immediately ordered (and paid for) the next 2 books in the series.

btw, why would one be less likely to read more from an author based on whether one of his/her books was free?
