Zombie sites for zombie books, knitting sites for knitting pattern books, that type of thing. While there will probably be a small audience for those books here, the chances of them seeing your advert would be pretty slim. Whereas on dedicated sites it wouldn't really matter if only a small minority of people saw your advert because they would all be likely to have an interest in what you are selling.

Good point. Except, it probably wouldn't work for me. I like writing stories that fall on the fringes of mainstream genre tastes. My fantasies are likely not fantastic enough for fantasy afficionados.
As a reader, I download lots of free books too, but I usually give them a read, at least the first chapter. Most of them, (2/3?), I never go on to finish, but I like to at least give everything a chance.
