Absolutely. It's all about building readership. One of the things that prompted this post was an author telling me how many requests she gets for free books. It's a tough position to be in - author says yes and ends up giving away a bunch of books and doesn't record any sales for it or author says no and angers a potential reader. My opinion on that quandary is the same I have about illegal ebooks - that person was never going to buy it in the first place, so it isn't a lost sale.
