Ask them to tell you what kind of device they have, so you could send them either a mobi or an epub.
You will see how many requests you receive and then you can decide what to do in the future.
Remember, when Amazon finds out you are giving out the books (putting then up for download for anyone) they might decide to "match the price" ;-).

Thanks kacir. Appreciate the feedback. I couldn't see asking people to explain why they can't afford a book, but I think I like your idea of asking them whether they want a mobi or epub.
But I forgot about big brother Amazon's bots roaming the earth. I'm sure it's (their peremptory summary judgment price matching) not illegal but it should be. Because I want to give my books away doesn't mean Amazon has a right to. But Bezo's greed and attempt to corner the market knows no bounds.
