A lot of my freebies are from when I first joined MR, and downloaded all sorts of stuff from the Deals forum if I just thought it sounded vaguely like something I might like. And then there are a couple of hundred more from the Baen CDs. (Quite a few from the Baen Free Library, too, but at least I chose those.)
So it's not really Amazon. Although they did used to have a free chart that I checked regularly in the early days of my kindle ownership. It's been lost in their many terrible reorganizations since then, I think. Now they have some sort of self-promoting algorithmic chart which I hardly ever bother to look at. Although I still check the daily deals every day.
