I wonder if this means Amazon regularly grabs the mobi editions from Project Gutenberg and makes them available for free? If so, I wonder how often they look for new editions, or if they just did a one-time import into their system?

That's an interesting question.

Checking the preview on Amazon, I don't see the front matter that Gutenberg uses, unless it's at the end of the book.
