Totally false!
The vast majority of free ebooks are distributed without DRM and are distributed in multiple formats, including both ePub and MOBI/Kindle. Most of the more limited number of free ebooks that are distributed with DRM are available from most major ebook stores and are thus available for most devices including Kindles and ePub devices supported by Adobe Digital Editions (ADE).
Ebooks without DRM can easily be converted from one format to another (discounting certain obsolete formats). Even non-ebook document formats, like PDF, can be converted with some success. There are a number of tools available, many are free. Calibre is the best all around converter and library manager. Amazon distributes there own tool, the Kindle Previewer, which can convert ePubs for use on a Kindle in addition to being an excellent test app for converted files.

which wi-fi ereader gives access to the most free ebooks?

There is no significant difference in the availability of "free ebooks". The only significant difference in "free" books would be loans from ebook libraries, which currently don't support the Kindle.
