Really? Really?? Really.
I would tell you why I would check out extra stuff but wouldn't pay more for it: I've no idea if it'd be any good whatsoever.
Now, if X author released some character notes for free for their first few novels and I REALLY liked them, I might start paying more for them as zie made that a habit. Especially if zie was cool about it -- "I really like doing these extra editions, but they take a lot of work, so it's either charge a dollar more or stop, and I thought it best to let You The Readers decide."
As a consumer, I don't have a responsibility to throw money at everything that might be slightly shiny.
ETA: For comparison, my ending decon is 20,000 words. My book is 60,000 words (without decon, so my "extras" are the size of 1/3 of my book.
