I picked up the ebook of "Jennifer Government" after reading one chapter online. (OK, I bought it halfway through the first chapter.)
Likewise, I have added many Baen books -- more than from the CONNECT store -- based on their free offerings. Most of them seem to offer the first in a series and then I want to go back and get the rest of the series. Sure there are a bunch of duds (duds for me, perhaps the best book in the world for others) but I was willing to invest a bit of time to see if I liked the book. Even some of the greats have books I don't care for -- even Asimov.
It is after all, all about marketing.
