But it is in the seller's best interest if it leads to more sales and positive reviews. For example, I just finished the series by Cy Tidd; first was free and I bought the other 4 and I'm looking forward to the 6th installment. I also enjoyed the following book which is free (again) today and will buy whatever he puts out next.

I agree with what others have said about so much junk being out there. Back to the topic of this thread, my strategy is to be aggressive at stopping when a book doesn't engage me. I've gotten to the point where I can tell rather quickly and I don't feel bad about stopping since there are so many more in the queue.
