I do understand that it isn't necessarily Amazon's fault and that it is sometimes complicated as to who has rights where. It does seem odd though. Still I'm not going to whine to much about it. Things could change in the future, and I'm sure there are still plenty of ebooks that are available free or not in the meantime.
