Using the Whispernet function in your Kindle, view the Kindle Daily. Every one of the free books has been announced there. Or, follow one of the fora such as MobileRead where someone will post as soon as they discover a freebie.

You can't rely on sorting by price to show you all books that are currently on sale for $0.00. Many times I have known about an Amazon special and "purchased" the free book, but found that the book still sorts at its normal non-discounted price.
