There are times when we are supposed to download the Book of The Day before we can enter the daily giveaway when it is supposedly free. But there have been a couple of instances when they are not available for free, or available at all. I don't want to lose my accumulated entries, but I'm unable to download the Book for free. It might be only free in USA and not in other countries.
What can I do in these cases? I want to enter the daily giveaway, but I cannot download the Book for free because it is not available for free.
Free giveaway books not always being available for free when clearly mentioned

It may be due to your location.
The following thread may help: Books from .com version of Amazon for non-.com Amazon users.
If that doesn't work, it unfortunately can't be helped.

BOTM books are usually available at a low cost on Amazon. Sometimes, they are offered for free via OBC.
Life without a good book is something MrsCatInTheHat cannot imagine.

I just want to add that I am in the US, and there are still many times when the "free" BotD is not free, so it's not just about location; sometimes the author may have forgotten to make it free or something else behind the scenes. I just go ahead and mark that I purchased it, even though I didn't; in such cases, I take a screenshot of the book at Amazon so if I do happen to win, I can send the screenie in lieu of a receipt for book purchased.

I noticed that too, but it seems to be because of my location. There's nothing I can do about it anyways. Besides it's not OBC's fault.

Well, today - Oct 14th - the BotD is allegedly free. Yet when I go to Amazon, here in the US, it's $2.99 and I'm not paying for a book I don't even want, just to get a receipt.

It isn't free, and it was fixed on the Giveaway page.
