I have 3 tabs pinned in my browser for ereaderiq and I'd guess that I get at least 7 free books a week. As a way of reducing the volume I now restrict myself to male authors. Since I can't read one book a day I have to be aggressive at not wasting time on dud books. For me a dud book is one where I don't feel any connection or sympathy for the main character, where the characters are merely chess pieces on the board moved around for the sake of the story. So if I don't get that feeling after a few chapters, sometimes as few as one, I mark the book as finished and move on to the next one.
It does get discouraging and tiresome after having finished a great book or series and then having to slog through the first few chapters of a dozen or more duds.
