One of things we try to do is keep up with the changing availability of which ebook stores have the free ebook by editing the title when a member posts to that thread.
It is easiest to keep up with the quick changes when members post to the thread as a book is made available on another site or when it is no longer available for free. The title can be updated again. Only moderators are able to change the thread titles.
I admit it is frustrating to go to the site and find that it is not free, but these deals are sometimes very quick and always changing. I'm very thankful to our dedicated members who take the time to post the finds for us, and I don't mind the little bit of time it takes me to go check a site for a deal when I am interested in a book.
If a member posts that the offer is ended a moderator can add that to the title. When more than one site is listed in the title, the title is edited to remove that site. You still need to check the posts in the thread for other information.
This system is not perfect, but I think it is working pretty good for now, especially with members posting changes to the threads.
