If you would like an author's perspective on the free vs. not who has tried both avenues in getting his book out there. When I was offering Boomerang for free I saw hundreds of downloads. Since I have pulled the free offer that number has dwindled considerably. B.
but if emails and other sorts of reactions is any sort of indication, the number of Readers has actually increased.

It's all quite lovely to see the numbers improve, including Amazon and/or B/N rankings, but if the intention is to get folks to read your book, I haven't found a considerable advantage to giving it away.

Best,
Alan
