Well, removing books is a whole lot easier than uninstalling crap software. The other difference is that the former is the actual product, whereas the latter is often a limited version intended to hook you into paying (via cash or eyeballs or click-throughs).

While the idea is about making distribution easier, I wonder if authors can offer a free download from their website? While not as easy as bundling it in the Kindle, it's still a way to get the book out. I'm going to comment on Godin's blog and ask him to post a few books for free, since he offered to do so if Amazon went with the free bundling idea.
