The claim of 1.8 M free books is really quite misleading since it seems that a good majority are either public domain or samples.

Nothing misleading about that...Free books have to be public domain or offered free by the publishers (who generally don't do that as they are businesses and must make a profit). Or they are pirated, which means Kobo wouldn't offer them on their site.
A few legitimate sources for free ebooks exist;
here's a link to a "How-to Geek" article giving a list of legitimate sources...
