Sony Bookstore-false ad for free ebooks

When I open the eBook store in the Sony library, I see an ad that says on the left:
Quote:
at this most magical time of the year, enjoy the gift of cool ghosts and hot vampires
On the right, there's a box that says:
Quote:
Free downloads from
Carole Nelson Douglas
Maria Lima
Fantasy magazine
Weird Tales
& more!
Search for Carole Nelson Douglas: 4 books, none of them free.
Maria Lima: 1 book, not free.
Fantasy Magazine: 2008 Sampler is free.
Weird Tales: Nothing named "weird tales" is free, but the search turns up the Fantasy Magazine Sampler.

Erm. In a brick-and-mortar store, if there were a sign saying "Free books from [author]", they'd be legally required to provide them for as long as they have the sign up. (Unless the sign says "Until Dec 8th" or whatever.)

Am planning on calling customer service to find out what free downloads from Carole Nelson Douglas & Maria Lima they're talking about.
