Here's a partial explanation from their "Promos" page. They don't come right out and say that they aren't selling through their own site anymore, but it seems pretty clearly implied.

Here’s our first batch of FREE e-books!
We’re doing our best to make them free everywhere, but not everyone will completely cooperate. If you buy one of these e-books for an iPad/iPhone or anyother device through the Apple iTunes store then they’re completely, absolutely, totally free, as in $0.00.
It turns out that Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon all force us to set the price to no less than $.99, but if enough of you click on the link, “tell us about a lower price,” on Amazon.com just above Customer Reviews, at the bottom of Product Details then I’ve been told that Amazon will fairly quickly price-match. I haven’t seen or heard of a way at Kobo or BN to do the same, but if someone discovers one, please let me know so I can pass it on.

Edit: And, I mostly don't really mind giving them $0.99 even for a "trial" book. They publish lots of series that I like, and seem to be really trying to make e-books work well - nicely edited, DRM-free, a couple of formats (although not now that they're not selling through their own site), quick customer service. A couple of series that I kind of go "eaaah" on, I appreciate the total freebie to try it out, but usually $0.99 is good enough for me.
