Cheap, I buy a lot of ebooks, and I have never been upset with the writer when the book I bought for $8.99 a month ago goes on sale for $1.99. I kick myself for not waiting, but I never get angry. I feel the same about the freebies when the book is self-published. I can't promise you that no one will be bothered by it, but the way I look at it is by offering it for free in giveaways or promotions, you're giving the people who are on the fence about buying it a chance to get their hands on a copy, risk free! I know I've found quite a few new favorite authors because of Barnes and Noble's "deal of the day" and the books they put on sale cheap. I wouldn't have bought them if it weren't for those promotions, so I personally think it's the same kind of thing with the giveaways. And I'm a cheapskate, so...
