They might even get a few to install the Kindle app or buy a Kindle.

Additionally, it seems (to me) a fairly clever marketing ploy by Amazon.
They offer this book for "free" and in exchange they (probably? hopefully?)
get a bunch of new people to sign up for Amazon accounts.  Pretty good deal
for them.  Am I being cynical?  Or realistic?  Or both?

Derek,
    I don't think your rant was unwarranted either, I can see your side of
things.  But I hope no one minds me sharing (I hope politely) my opinion.

          be well,
                ~c
