Harry,
You should assume that any freebie posted that has Kindle in the title is free only in the US. Until they actually open stores in other countries (and probably even then, unless they announce a change in international pricing), all books sold overseas will cost more than in the US for the Kindle store. Sounds like this one didn't get discounted at all, but the original poster can't know that you aren't getting charged _only_ the additional 2.30 added as a minimum for the UK (just as some UK and CA deals are not so good for those in the US once currency factors are taken into account). In fact, the book could be a different price in each of the 100+ countries where Kindle books are legally sold.
Not to mention you know the work-around, the same as required to even buy a book in any of the other "big" ebookstores (or to avoid the same type of pricing changes or unavailability in the Sony store).
