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.  |

I don't look at the extras in the book. Infact the only thing that I care about in the book apart from the main content is the author name. So, any amount of extra will not add anything for me unless it is another story altogether.
