It probably comes from the same data as the "people also bought this", but as someone already pointed out, when it's free people will download anything (along with everything else that is free at that time). That's where it breaks down. You just end up with random stuff that people who bought the same book as you downloaded. No benefit to the reader, no benefit to the writer.
