I can't speak for others, but I took the poll question to include normally-priced book releases that are free for a limited time. I wasn't really thinking of self-published amateur stuff when I voted.
In other words, would I more likely "buy" a free promotional, one that's discounted 40+%, or the same book at the normal $8.95 price? It seemed a no-brainer.
