The original (free) listing has been pulled (probably by the publisher or author).

However, it is still in my library and a quick "read now" check shows that the text is there.

The listing you are finding searching is a "new" edition (although no doubt identical to the one that was free. This happens both when the publisher really releases a new edition (and doesn't want to give it those who purchased the first editon, as a corrected edition) and when the publisher/author has no clue how to edit their listing in KDP and they create a second edition by mistake and then delete the original one.

Oh, and, of course, when the publisher/author intentionally creates a second listing and deletes the first, to prevent people linking the reviews or using the quick-glance method to see if they 'bought' a book before.

Just one reason I don't rely on the product page to tell me if I have a book....
