Well, that
double-stinks! It sounds like there's not even any method for such sites to plan an alternative strategy.
I'd certainly hate to lose information from Aradata, blogs I frequent, EreaderIQ, etc. I can certainly understand that there are some sites that do nothing but list free books with no discrimination, and why those don't benefit Amazon (Other than, of course, by helping Amazon accomplish exactly what they give away free ebooks for in the first place.....). But those who provide an educated "sifting" of freebies, and also do a wonderful job of providing info on reduced-price ebooks, shouldn't be punished in the process.
Perhaps we should start a thread in the "Discussion" forum, so we don't monopolize Arcadata's thread.
