We have been having a discussion over in the copyright thread about the influence of free books (excluding ones that come from a library) on book sales. I thought I would start a thread to gather some data, as unrepresentative as it may be.

How many free books have you read?

When deciding to read a free book, did you consider reading a book that cost money?

Have you gotten a free book, and then decided to purchase a copy of the book? If so, why?

Has the availability of free books influenced your perception of how much a book should cost?

Feel free add any thoughts that you have on the topic.
