Trying to figure out which "free" e books come with either reader is intentionally made next to impossible - at least for me, so far
Any ideas would be warmly welcomed.
Thanks.

By Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane I am assuming you meant the Underland Series by Suzanne Collins, if you are looking for free books in the young adult/children category like that would be I don't really think you will find much difference.
Most completely free ebooks are the older series that are no longer copyrighted, so classics really. Of course there are also times when different ebook sellers offer free books and such, but in general I don't think any would have more or less free ebooks in that category.
That being said, you should problem then go with the e-reader who's market has the largest number of young adult/children books, both free or not. Although maybe a reader that can support many formats from any market would be best.
The Nook and the Kindle both have large market support and easy access to those markets. I think either of those would have quite a bit of the books your grandson would be into, just maybe not free.
