But of course you are foregoing profit only on that particular book, in the hope of increasing overall profit over a number of books.

Aye, that is where we both have to agree to disagree. I see a difference between a discounted book that is cheaper and one that goes free. If you are unsure about a book, there is always a free sample you can read which should give you plenty idea if you are willing to pay for the whole book or not. If a book is barely good enough to pay nothing for it, then why bother to read it in the first place.
