  • Going with a web-site rather than the manufacturer's store would let the Mac and Linux owning Sony owners have access -- the Sony store freezes us out.
  • Reach a much broader group of potential customers. Some estimates suggest that Kindle owners make up a plurality, but not a majority, of owners of eBook reader hardware.

If you were even more ambitious, you could get Fictionwise and Books-On-Board and smashwords and others in on distributing your freebie. That'd broaden your reach still farther.
