Hey, I am all for freebies. And I still do grab stuff I think I will actually read. It's the "uh maybe" stuff I've learned to avoid. If I miss out, oh well.

If I'm really on the fence about a book, I go ahead and click. Then I wait a week or so and only download it/add to Calibre if I feel it really makes the cut. That added wait time runs about an 75% delete / 25% keep ratio.

But you only need to go through and cull your digital libray once to cure yourself of the oh pretty, click...ooh click-itis. I really don't think you can reach the stage where you don't click on nearly all of it without going through the uh-what-was-I-thinking stage.
