We can imagine another book which has raised its price in this way, but with no other changes to its content...
Do you really argue that it is immoral to even give them away? What would you have people do? Burn them?

Really, she decided on that price herself. It was her conscious decision. Think of it like one of those sales shops do, in which products are sold at significantly cheaper prices. Just because the sale ends doesn't means that you suddenly have to pay the remainder from the full price. No, the product is yours already, and you can very well sell it, unless specifically forbidden.
