A bonus, by definition, is "something good" - that's what the word actually
means. So it's perfectly true to say that whether or not something is regarded as a bonus is a subjective judgement, depending on whether the reader considers it good or not.
One can objectively say "this book contains additional material", but not "this book contains bonus material", because the latter is making assumptions about what the reader's personal opinion will be.
