Ok... take a deep breath. I think you are getting upset over nothing here. Or you are mis-understanding a few things.

1. These books are ALL free on Amazon. They are charging nothing. Not even a the small $.10 delivery fee they charge when you send yourself a document.

2. These books do NOT have any copy protection on them. I just downloaded one to verify this.

3. By Amazon adding these books to their Kindle library it does not remove them from the PG site or manybooks or feedbooks or any other public domain archive. These books are STILL in the public domain.

Please lets be careful with the FUD spreading.
