Although I chose: "I read free ebooks, and if I like the author I buy their other titles", I rarely do buy their other titles. I go onto Amazon, search for free kindle books and download any which tickle my fancy; after reading something I particularly like I'll check to see if the author has written anything else but will only buy it if it's under £1.
My staple reading material tends to be in the public domain: I read lots of classics. Often I'll go onto manybooks or girliebooks; with the former, I'll take a look at them under genre then download any I fancy from the MR library; girliebooks has such nice blurb about the free books they offer that they make everything tempting, yet again, I'll then download the actual ebook from the MR library.
Sometimes I browse the 'recommended reading' part of the MR forum and even place calls for suggestions of a particular style of book I'm interested in.
No one method dominates, but for discovery of new authors, I'll search the Amazon freebies.
