[Web4lib] 100,000 titles less in Kindle store?

[Anders Ericson]

Thanks, that was very useful. And your link, Robert, also presents 1,8
million "free classics and out-of-copyright, pre-1923 books, as well
as limited-time free promotional ebooks available for Kindle".  It
says "free", but when I search that particular base for Ibsen Ghosts,
even that will cost $2. Is this the same in the US?
