I'm not suggesting it was a good idea for the author to do whatever the author did, but there may be reasons (and those reasons may actually be other than profit.)
Perhaps from a fellow-author perspective it makes sense to say a book that originally sold at a $0.00 price point is less of a purchase, or morally less deserving to be one, than a book that sold for a higher price point (one which put money in the bank) -- but I consider it a totally warped perspective nonetheless.
