    Good question and with recent algo changes, there doesn't seem to be a clear answer at the moment.

    Most important question, is this a first or only book? If its first or only, and you don't have successive books written yet...

    Consider leaving this one alone and getting the next one written.

    Seriously.

    If you have another book(s) aimed at the same readership, then go forth and promote...

    Also, at this point, if you are getting steady sales, no matter how small... be aware that going Free may tank your sales and your ranking.

    Just saw this discussion elsewhere...

    All of this is in serious flux... all you can do is make the best decision you can at the time based on the information you have then, and DO NOT second guess yourself. (Advice from my Dad, a very wise man ;-) )

    Non of that. First what you need is few review's but from buyers to rank on Amazon Kindle store and than you can set up some free promotion but I suggest 24 hours only!!!
