On another website today, authors were complaining about silly reviews they got because someone downloaded their free book, but didn't like science fiction. <br /><br />I guess they feel like they are getting a bargain.

I've offered some of my indie books free (and yes, they are all professionally edited and formatted). At first, when Amazon began their Select program where we could offer books free, it worked like a charm. I'd get thousands of download which translated into mega sales when the books went off free. Alas, Amazon changed their algorithms and freebies no longer translate into sales. I've given up on offering my books free. I've gotten a few snarky reviews from people who evidently don't read romance yet downloaded my free books, which are all romance.

H...I only download free books from authors I like.<br /><br />However, this is an interesting question and one that's come up unexpectedly in conversation with non-authors. Apparently, there are so many free books, that they are getting a bad name. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
