This is exactly what they are doing. Even though the book is free, it still has DRM on it. They don't want you copying it to others. If they didn't verify the CC# you could just create a bogus account with a bogus card number, and distribute the file.
I think I even read on eReader site once that you had to buy at least 1 book with a CC# that you have changed to before you can d/l previously purchased books encrypted to that CC#. Although, I was able to change my CC# and re-d/l... so perhaps they don't actually enforce it all the time.
