It is perfectly within their right to give away a book and use it as a loss leader but having it appear in the ranking system is fishy at best.

Not that I'm an Apple fanatic or anything, but I think the iTunes App store handles this the right way, having separate lists for "top paid" and "top free." Amazon should do the same.
