The post was more of a comment to Mr. Anderson (which he asked me to post in order for him to share it with his peeps) and less about “hey, look at us! Aren’t we innovative!” Now it seems to have spread a bit.

Reading through your posts though on Flint’s law, I would agree with your stance 99%. That 1% in reserve is because I have seen where a free offer did in fact hurt an well established author. The mass reviews were horrible…a book maybe best left in obscurity or small niche and not for mass consumption…that may have damaged the author going forward. We will have to wait and see. I think there may be some other variables at play here besides free…quality of text and edit for example…that have to be there.

For that reason alone, and yes, only a single anecdote…I would state it “Flint’s Theory”…but would still follow the premise.

Cheers!
