I'm not going to get through the sort of books I read in two hours. Then the free read ends, and when I leave the store, the free book stays in the store...not in my Nook. Conversely, it seems that free Amazon books for the Kindle are free, and can be downloaded anywhere in the world, and remain in the Kindle, as well as being able to be archived online so I can recover them if my Kindle goes belly up.

Nook has downloadable free books on their
official Free eBooks page here, the unofficial listings you can get by
typing 0.00 into the search box, the current
Barnes & Noble Classics rotating summer promo (annotated editions w/bonus material), and they do this
Free Fridays promotion every week that gets updated in their Nook blog.
Admittedly, they don't have nearly as many freebies as you can get on Amazon, but they're there, and you can keep them, and go to My Library to download them again if need be.
Plus, you can use the free books from the Sony Reader and Kobo stores on the Nook, as well.
