The first few on these lists are the only free ones.
I hope you don't mind, but I'll share my recently gained knowledge of free kindle books (most kindle owners probably know this - but if you are getting/giving a kindle for Christmas it may be helpful).
Books published before 1932 are always free becuase they are out of copyright. Classics like Little Women, Secret Garden. Moby Dick etc. Not the bible, but it is often only 99cents

I find the easiest/quickest way to find free books to is to go to the kindle store and pull up the list on the bottom right - top 100 free - you can also categorize this by "romance" "kids", humor" etc but there aren't always 100 if you categorize it.

Here are more options cut and pasted directly from amazon's website:
