I checked a couple and they are always free

        Freebies are bargains.
        
        Freebies are, but if something is always free, it is not a freebie and belongs in the freeware forums.

        Nope. Bargains and freebies are for items where you are saving money.
        A freebie is something that is free, that you normally pay for.
        
        Freeware is always free, there is not saving, and belongs in the forums… There is a special section for them there.

        @jv: Have to agree with jv on this one. These and a lot more are always free via Gutenberg. You can rehash the same books but it doesn’t changes the fact that they are always free. Not a bargain but maybe a PSA or reminder.

  You're probably right but most of AmazonClassics eBooks are actually not free. This is just the list of the ones which are available for free without prime.

      I'm not actually sure if they are always free. How can I be sure if they are always free or not? It doesn't say that on amazon.

        PS: Why are you so aggressive? I don't know the rules and I'm trying to learn, that's why I'm asking the question. I didn't post this to gain any benefits and if I knew it should have been posted in forums, I'd have done that. It really doesn't make any difference to me.

        @FreeFrag: To answer your question, some of these books are in the public domain as their authors are deceased and copyrights have expired.
        
        Also save your time and energy in the future. JV loves to get into useless 'intellectual' debates that go nowhere and achieve nothing.

Copyright expired on these books about a century ago, so they've been available for free digitally for decades.

  Yes, but now you can opt into Amazon's ecosystem for free too! More things need to have (quicker) copyright expirations

  Most of AmazonClassics eBooks are not free on amazon and I personally was looking for the list of free ones because it's just a bit easier if you're using a kindle. Thought could be useful for others too.

  Right now, I'm using a Kindle but that's just because it was a gift! I'll probably buy a Kobo next time. Not that I have any issues with my Kindle, but Kobo seems more flexible.
