The main reason I take the time is that most of the 'popular' stuff I find very meh. Publishers are pandering to a common denominator in recent years and I find very few books in the mainstream that would qualify for "bought because I wanted to read."
So, I peruse the indies (not just free) in search of the good stuff.
