Is it some sort "Christmas came early" thing? I see whole bunch of books on Amazon for free (Kindle version):

http://www.amazon.com/Big-Data-Now-Perspectives-ebook/dp/B00...

Look at the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" section.

Some of these are free because they are public domain, like The Prince. Not sure what's up with the others. I've only had a kindle for a few days but it's been my experience so far, that if a book is free and not public domain, there is a reason: no one would ever buy it.

Check iBook Store (iTunes) and you'll get the same stuff. O'reilly has had free eBooks for a while on iTunes store.
