I guess free series openers are better than pay series openers.
Generally I don't buy into many series until they are finished. But not always. Some I will jump into once they have a few books completed and have good reviews. I can't think of any series I have invested in on the first book. Sometimes I have gotten the first book of a series when there are no other books yet, but that's only when it's ... free. So I guess it is a reasonable marketing technique, it works on me! How many of these "free first books" have I actually read? Hmmm ... I'm thinking somewhere near zero. But maybe I read one once and have forgotten.
