I might be able to suggest some too if you reveal the genre you like.

Most books do okay on sale--there are some readers who are very attracted to 99 cents so when a 2.99 goes down, they do grab it. And it can really depend on the genre. Cozy readers have different price point tolerances than fantasy readers. Non-fiction readers have different expectations on pricing as well.

Yes, basically Amazon doesn't want affiliates to list free too often. When they started allowing free, all kinds of affiliates were driving a ton of traffic on freebies--then people were shopping as long as they were there and that costs Amazon money because it creates a habit of, "I'm going to my favorite blog to check for freebies instead of going direct to Amazon to buy stuff." So they'd enter via the "freebie" book and find 6 other books and Amazon has to pay commissions on those.

No, it's not terribly fair. Amazon is the one that allows free so why shouldn't we advertise it??? But yanno. They are nearly the only one in town when it comes to affiliate stuff too. I'm an affiliate at a number of other places and none pays as well as Amazon.
