As someone who has wide tastes and little money such sales have been a useful way to fill out my library particularly particularly when it comes to non-fiction which is normally priced outside my budget.
And how many of those $2 and $3 ebook sales are traditional publishers and how many are either indie or mid-tier authors selling their own books? I can't really say that I've seen very many (i.e. I don't recall seeing any) ebooks at that price that were not indie or backlist. I have seen first in a series sales like that (or for free) but usually that first in the series tends to be 10 or 20 years old (i.e. backlist)
