- 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.

It would certainly be something to suggest to Samhain. They do sell their books DRM free and re-downloadable in multiple formats at their own ebook store My Bookstore and More. Don't know why their freebies are Kindle only.
