In my early e-reading days, I downloaded a lot of the Peanut Press/eReader and Fictionwise freebies because they were free. Out of about 60 freebies on my Bookshelves (that aren't classics), I 've read about half. Most were not good, in my opinion, which has dampened my interest in the rest.
I also used site promotions/discounts to test the waters with some new authors in favorite genres, and was (mostly) disappointed.
Now, I don't even bother with freebies or promotions. When I go to eBookstores, I have a specific author or title in mind and I buy. I save experimentation for either library eBooks or pBooks, where I can peruse and dump without financial consequeneces and less time constraints.
