'Please' is used to make (more polite) requests to others. "Please take a look at your book." The speaker is making a request to the listener to look at the book, maybe to show them a specific picture or diagram.

'Feel free' is more of a suggestion or invitation to the listener. "Feel free to look at the book" states that the listener can look at the book but they don't need to look at the book if they don't want to. It lets the listener know that they can choose to do the action or not.

@peace19 Oh, thank you so much for your explanation! It helps me a lot.
You mean if I want to make all of the audience listen to me, it would be much proper to say "Please pay attention to what I'm saying." than "Feel free to ~.", don't you?

@birmbert: I'm glad I was able to help :D And yep, you're right - in that case you would use 'please' rather than 'feel free.'
