Amazon free Kindle books. Is it dumping?

A tweet claims:
 Andrés Hoyos  
Amazon está ofreciendo libros gratis a sus usuarios premium de Kindle. ¿Cómo compite una librería con eso? Dumping.
"Amazon is offering free books to premium Kindle users. How does a library compete against that? Dumping. "

For Amazon the marginal cost of giving e-books for free is almost zero. And this might well be a marketing strategy. Nevertheless, nowadays libraries are buying Kindles and are lending them to their members. Amazon might as well be helping libraries.
