That's why I mentioned that there were likely pirate copies of the first two books. The author never mentions that.

For sure, there were pirated copies of her first two books. Doing a quick search, some of those torrents have been out for years, around the same time the first book came out.
But that's an angle I didn't think of, so the whole case here may be that people, desperately awaiting the next book in the series, saw the pirated ebook and decided not to wait for published version...
Of course, once that happened the majority of people may not buy the book, but I don't know: if I read a pirated version of a book and enjoyed it, I'd definitely support the author by buying it. That's why I originally thought her ebook sales dropped: people saw how the quality of the third book dropped and didn't buy it.
