Some of them might be short stories or novellas if that's what you mean by "partials", but as far as I know all entries are supposed be complete stories.
If I posted this in wrong discussion thread, then I apologize. Moderators please delete or move if necessary.

You're right. It was free for a short while. I looked at it earlier to try to remember why I didn't download it the first time, so I saw the $0.00 as well. But now it is $9.99. |

Actually, what it says is this: Through August 21, 2009, buy Free and receive a free download of The Long Tail. Note that it says "buy" (bold is mine). You most likely got lucky and hit it just right while it was still free and got "The Long Tail" free as well. But if you check it now, you'll see a price of $9.99 on "Free". I suspect Amazon erred while trying to set up the tie-in between the two books, and eventually caught it. But that is just speculation on my part. |

I think MikeD has it right as I'd seen announcement of that promotion elsewhere. Those who got it for REALLY free, just lucked out.
But that just points out what we always say: look before you click because prices can change quickly!

Prices can change in seconds. I've had it happen to me several times.
