Yes. To me, the most important thing for a dead author is for his books to be read after they're gone.
Granted, maybe I'd feel different if I had a dead author relative that I wanted to sponge off of. (and if the author died young, and had a partner/young children to support, that's almost different...)
But still, in my case, there's a series I want to read (Pelbar cycle) that I used to have in paperback. $9.99 for the Kindle editions. These really aren't big books, either, 200-250 pages at most. And the author is dead.
99 cents I'd snap them up. $1.99, maybe. $2.99 -$6.99 probably not. $9.99? Hell no.
