I've reduced my freebee acquisitions primarily to curated freebees (Amazon First, World Book Day, TOR), author freebees and authors I already read. So the number of unknowns is pretty small, but the blurb fits my interest. Freebees are great if you are reading good books but a lot of them have only been so-so. Once in a while you'll get a star (like The Martian by Andy Weir which was even better after a professional publisher got hold of it). But I'd rather not waste my time too much on so-so books.
