Amazon gives non-Prime members free shipping at $35 or more of eligible items. Instead of simply letting users get the product with free shipping, they’ve added a discount that prices it exactly one cent below the $35 limit, while only subsidizing the price with $3.38, which is about half of what they’ll then charge you for shipping.

    I don’t know if this is possible on Amazon

    It’s certainly possible to get e-books for free, with only a very small amount of piracy.

      Not very helpful when you need that extra cent to get free shipping though, is it?

      Yes there are tons of free ebooks on amazon. Mostly classic literature that’s past copyright.
