Gutenberg is not a store. The question is asking about stores.

I seriously doubt that Baen has the largest free library for a *store*. Almost certainly it's Amazon, but I'd also chose Gutenberg as the *site* with the most free books.

Edit: And this really isn't News. Probably should have been posted in General

The title does not say store. It asks who has the largest free library. Just because he listed only stores does not exclude Gutenberg.

Notice the someone else and store. That to mean means it's about free libraries at stores.

Last I heard Google claimed several million crap-scans.
(Well over a million back in 2009.)

Quality used to be awful, but they do take the crown for the biggest free library.

Gutenberg stores free ebooks.

Baen had to Prune theirs significantly when they opened up their e-book sales to outside (house) vendors.

You could try looking for the book you want to read rather than trawling through the slush pile. Reading recommendations springs to mind.....
No need to stick with only one store or site. Then look for a free legit version. Easy for PD, or maybe an author promo.
