Re: How many of you read free ebooks?

I LOVE free ebooks. I get daily emails from FreeBooksy and will download anything that is long enough (at least 250 pages) and catches my attention. I figure I better get them while they are free, I can always delete them if I don't like them. The biggest draw back to this is I always seem to get into a series and usually only the first book is free. This does make it more likely that I will spend money on the books, however. I find I enjoy a good series more than a stand alone book.

I do read free ebooks sometimes, but I find that I have too little time and too many books on my reading list, so I don't do it as often as I'd like to.

I am a huge bargain hunter, so any time I see something for "free" I snag it up. Since I typically read from my Kindle, ebooks are my main source of reading so any ebooks that are up for cheap are great!

My entire life here recently is just one big free ebook after another! Sometimes I regret my downloads, but I am always thankful that they are free. And many times I am surprised at the awesomeness that I discover!

I have downloaded many free e-books online.
And I really tried reading them.
But I still prefer the traditional ones...

Mostly all I read are free ebooks. I love to read but I am not rich lol so anything free is good. Most of the actual books I have were given to me or were a gift. I have found that amazon has a pretty good selection of free ebooks in all genres. :) I would most certainly recommend checking it out!

Let's just say that I own over 300 kindle books and have only paid for about 20% of them. I always look to see what's free and Amazon is always offering me something for free in my recommendations. I Love It!!

I read ebooks. Free mostly but if it is a series that is worth it then I will buy the rest.

I don't like reading e-books. I like physical copies better.

It's always nice to get free ebooks. I get several and it's a nice way to find new authors.

Ya, it is a great idea to check out free books, because It saves money, and who knows; there might be some good books available. I recently got the first book in the Lux series for free on iTunes.
