That in my eyes is not right - the freebie allocation ought to be the same for all countries. I suppose there is a reason for it though.
For the Netherlands I have the total amount of 3, yes t-h-r-e-e freebies: Alice in Wonderland, The static of spheres by Eric Kraft and Cybill Disobedience from Cybill Shepherd. For the other free books I have to pay 2,30$ for whispernet, even it they sent it by PC, which in my inexperienced mind, doesn't cost that much.
I cannot make much sense of it.
