My question is this: As an ebook person, do you only check out a new author if his/her work can be gotten for free?

And if so, if you find a writer you like through free offers, are you apt to tell others about your discovery?

Thanks!

My opinion is the same as the others. If I do not know of the author odds are that I will not purchase their books unless I have received the book as a recommendation from a friend... if the book is free (or very very cheap) I may get it and add it to my long list of to read books. And in all reality it may get lost in my long list of books.
