Not really. My local supermarket has a table full of second hand books and a bucket to put money in if you want to, but nobody chases you if you just walk out with a book. The bucket always has money in it.

Are the free ebooks and the paid for ebooks exactly the same, or do the free ones have extra in-house adverts?
