Generally speaking, I read the ebooks I pay for almost immediately. If I don't have time to read them right then, they go on my GoodReads TBR list and I look into purchasing them later. Right now I'm about halfway through a book and have the next book purchased and queued up, but there's nothing paid for beyond that.
Now, whenever I see a freebie I might be interested in, I snap it up right quick. Like the Suvudu books that are free for a limited time, or some of the stuff in the Baen library, and various deals through publishers. I'm loving me the free ebook wave (and not just the classics). I've tried far more authors this way because I was able to easily get the book for free. (I don't typically try random new authors off the shelf in the library -- there's too much chance of it being a 'miss' for me.) It's a type of marketing that publishers just can't duplicate with pbooks.
