I think they have now removed 'free' from their advertising in response to this issue. I will see if I can dig up an old email they sent me.

This was an email I received into my Australian Account just before I pre-ordered it:

Dear Amazon.com Customer,

As someone who has purchased Literature and Fiction books from Amazon.com, you might like to know there are more than 350,000 of the most popular books available on Kindle.

Free wireless delivery means books in less than 60 seconds.
