Torture Report A Best Seller On Kindle, Despite Being Available For Free (And In The Public Domain)

There is a Kindle version that costs $2.99, and despite the report being available as a PDF (which can be viewed on Kindle), the fee-based version of the torture report is the number one seller in the „intelligence & espionage“ section (beating out James Risen‘s recent book Pay Any Price). And this is happening despite the fact that people on Amazon are warning people not to buy the fee-based Kindle version, posting comments to tell them it‘s just a PDF that‘s available for free.
