Maybe. I think this is a strategy that looks good, but might not be all that effective. What percent of freebies actually get read? How many get consigned to a “maybe sometime in the future if I’m desperate and it jumps out at me from the virtual pile of hundreds of its freebie kin” category? Perhaps charging a nominal price of one or two dollars serves as a sieve for likelier future readers and ultimately buyers? Especially since they’ve already invested.
