New York Times on free Kindle books

The New York Times notes that half of Amazon's bestselling Kindle books are sold for $0.00. I suppose this is no different than iPhone developers giving away some apps and charging for others (or premium features) in the App Store - it's the best way to attract attention without a costly advertising campaign.

I see it as a win-win - you get to try a book for free, the author may get you hooked and ready to buy future releases.
