Maybe he just thinks ebooks are some bad (black) magic, as in another thread it was mentioned ebooks are not the Harry Potter type of magic.
Now seriously, that book is almost the only one good enough to be bought in the series. The second has different fabula yet "tastes" somewhat the same. And from the fifth book till the last 11th (part to book 6) it's just a really bad read. Maybe the worst I've had in all my fantasy reading.
So Mr Goodkind is selling what is "sellable".
I do believe books should be priced according to some literature value, so maybe he'll release the rest for free.
