The GigaOm article omitted the important statement that the 1 million new users was boosted by each new sign up getting ten free books:

So the prize for the correct answer goes to FizzyWater. The prize is ten free ebooks if you buy yourself a new Mac or iPhone.
The prize for sticking with Amazon is getting those titles price-matched...

The only people magnetized by that offer are those who don't tend to buy a lot of ebooks anyway.
