I immediately converted the Kindle book to PDF for a much quicker loading DRM Free read and to prevent Amazon from pulling a "1984" delete at a later date.

Maybe I'm being dense here, but I'm not sure if you're saying you're providing a PDF version of this? I would be quite interested in having the PDF version if you could link that?

Even though a free download, the Kindle file originally had DRM on it. This alludes to Amazon wanting control of it. Unfortunately due to this, its in the grey area if legit to redistribute as a converted DRM free PDF. I used a PDF converter program, also can be found online.
Not sure how much longer the Kindle version (can run on PC) will be free at the Amazon site, jump on this while available.
