I always wondered why more pubs didn't try this strategy, until yesterday I hadn't really seen $0.01 books.

That strategy doesn't seem to be working with this book.
Many of the Kindle Daily Deal books (priced at $0.99 or $1.99) do seem to climb nicely onto the first page of the paid Kindle Bestseller list though. If they back that up with Amazon Prime Lending that keeps them there longer, since borrows are counted as sales by Amazon's algorithm.
