Yes, Sony and Google have teamed up to offer 500,000 free e-books on the Sony Reader. Free is nice, and half a million is an impressive number, but lots of free and cheap e-books can wreak havoc on your database and best-seller lists--just ask Amazon.com, which found itself with Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" briefly sitting atop its best-seller list for legal thrillers in the Kindle Store, experienced earlier Thursday.
As always, the headline is splashier than the acutal facts. It was #1 in *legal thrillers* for all of a few minutes. Still it was an excuse for someone to write an article about Kindle pricing in general.
