Here comes some guesswork, they're giving away volume 1, because volume 2 is due to be released soon? The release date of the hardcover is October 30th. 6 months from this date falls on the 30th of April. Perhaps that's when the Kindle version is due for release. Certainly it would be pretty daft for them to release the free volume 1 if volume 2 isn't due on Kindle soon.
In any case, this to me sounds like good news. If an author/publisher is prepared to give away the first book of a trilogy because they feel it's good enough that you'll buy the rest then I'm more likely to read it. And conversely, I might read volume 1 and by the end feel it's been a slog and not want to read any further.
