Why would you hold a valuable intellectual property asset and do anything with it other than to maximize the value in whatever way you are advised by a marketing expert? It's not a matter of needing or not needing money. If you don't need the money, give it to charity.

I can see a life-saving drug being an exception. I can't see if for a book anyone can get in the library.

As for school districts being a reasonable object of charity, some are, and some aren't. Keeping down the price for everyone who buys the book, to help a few who are genuinely needy, would be quite an inefficient form of charity.
