If, and only if, we're talking about a normal transaction-type process to obtain a free book. It may be another story if someone is hosting a drm-free copy of an ebook for download via a direct link (though I still don't believe WBM would be hosting the file itself for download). It would fairly trivial to determine where the file is actually being served from by examining the headers during such a transaction. I would be extremely surprised to find that anything other than web pages were being stored on a WBM server.
