"Free" was obviously the best way Apple could come up with to say "DRM-free" (given that obviously most free e-books are also DRM-free) without mentioning the dread buzz-kill word "DRM".

So even Apple knows that consumers don't like to hear about DRM. Heh.

I don't care how they say it, as long as they are letting me put my own books on the device.
