After browsing crime novels on Amazon's Kindle store last night, I downloaded "Philippine Fever" by Bruce Cook for $6.99 onto my iPad. The transaction went smoothly.

But then I noticed Amazon had sent me another ebook as well: "Chinatown Beat" by Henry Chang. This ebook is priced as $0.00. Usually, when I download freebies from Amazon, it appears in my account as a purchase of $0.00 and I get a confirming email, but this hasn't happened this time.

My question is... did Amazon send this unsolicited, in which case, thank you very much, Amazon. Or was it because I was on the internet at 1am in the morning and in a befuddled state, just pushed the wrong buttons?

Anyhow, I don't know how long it has been free but for what it's worth - "Chinatown Beat" by Henry Chang is a Kindle store freebie.
