Thanks for all the responses - very interesting.

I should have explained what KDP was - yes its the programme on Amazon where you sign up exclusively with them, which allows your book to be borrowed from the Kindle Library (and you get a fee) and also allows you 5 days of promoting your book as a freebie, for 5 days out of every 90.

It was this free marketing that led to the original question. It seems that some are unaware that such a book is likely, but not certain, to become free in a few days/weeks or would not let this knowledge stop them from buying the book there and then. Others seem to refuse to buy Kindle books under any circumstances, or download when free so the issue does not apply!
