That's the old publishing model. Per Kristine Kathryn Rusch

and others an author can plan for a steady sale of ebooks for many years.

Compare digital recordings of classical music (to include the Beatles) I suppose.

Of course Eric Flint and Baen have been offering ebooks free while seeing mmpb sales continue steady for ten years and more. And now leather-bound new editions.

That era is perhaps going but offering the first one two or three in a series free or cheap still works.
