Well... to be truthful... my TBR queue is long enough that there are plenty of books I've paid for that I still haven't read, even after 2 years!

Although I do agree that freebies can frequently be of so-so quality, most of the freebies I download are samples and first novels in series. Many of these have been good enough that I've purchased the subsequent novels. Of course, there are plenty that I didn't like enough to keep as well
