Plus, if that person clicks through to get 1 free book from my site, and in the "Also bought" ads sees another free book, the affiliate will get knocked for 2 free books on that transaction.

I am a very very very small site, and I'll be over that limit, easily.
Then I would submit that you have a deeply flawed, unsustainable business model, dependent on the charity of those with conderable incentive to not be charitable.
