So you'll take extra stuff, but you won't pay for it? Extra work for authors, but no more profit? Some consumer you are!
Seriously, as long as most consumers display similar inflexibility over prices, I don't see how publishers can satisfy them anyway. If they drop the price, there will always be those who insist it be lower. As I said before, this is a 2-way street, and consumers can't just barricade their end.

I have "afterwords" in most of my books as well... I come across very few books these days that don't have them, so they are pretty much expected. Mine range from examinations of the sciences or concepts involved, to my motivations for writing the story (often both). I have yet to include a story outline, character development notes, etc.
