    • I have two Amazon US accounts. One has the free books, the other has not. Both have US addresses.

      The account that works has no payment method for the "default purchase preference". The account that doesn't has a US credit card for the "default purchase preference".

  • It is my us account, showing buy for 0.00 save 4.99, after clicking the buy for free, shows prices for all the books! Even in incognito page, very strange…

    • Could be a cookie problem. Log out, clear your cookies, log in, and try again? Or try a portable browser?

    Thanks I have acquired nine books I will never read.

  • "A River in Darkness: One Man’s Escape from North Korea". Why would anyone want to flee a 'socialist paradise'?
