Currently reading #3 in the Serrano/Suiza series - Once a Hero. This series is an early work of Elizabeth Moon, and mostly plays to her strengths. I originally read them >20 years ago, and I'm enjoying my trip back through them, since I remember very few details.
In a survey done about 3 years ago, it was found that 75% of all freebies aren't worth the download. In a more recent survey, it was found that the number of freebies not worth downloading jumped to 90%.
Fiction fared just slightly better than non-fiction.
Note this particular survey was done by one person who had way too many freebies.
Your mileage may vary.
