A nice checkbox 'send me marketing upates' below the email entry box would be really nice. These days most people appreciate an opt-in experience to opt-out.

I actually think that if you're getting a free book out of it, the publisher should be able to get at least one marketing e-mail to you before you decide not to see any more of their offers ...

Isn't marketing about getting your product in the customer's hands? Your product should be able to handle it from there.
