Good to know, thanks. Since this one is a publisher promotion, they apparently decided to keep a small charge (could even be full price in some countries). So far, the ones from Amazon seem to be truly free in Canada, the UK, AU and a few other places now. But publishers can set a price for each country (I don't know if the cellular charges there influence them, or if they just feel that other countries are more willing to pay for a book; I know I saw one of these special editions only marked down to $5 this month, not free at all, so they still appear to be experimenting). I know that Germany has some laws that may apply to free ebooks there (protectionist laws for paper books, as exist for many other retail items).
I'd check back in a few days, maybe they'll change the price. You can also order at the current price, then cancel and re-order if it drops (you get the lowest price of when you ordered and when it shipped, so you can miss a lower in between price on ebooks - they are not on the same lowest pre-order price guarantee as paper books). Or return it after it ships, if it never drops in price.
