It's been a few years, so I can't remember the series, but there was one sold for Kindle that ended up running to 40+ individual purchases. When the author started, each "chapter" was $.99 to $1.99. I remember being amazed at the high feedback both on Amazon and Goodreads. I thought paying $1-2 for 30-40 pages was ridiculous.

Once the author completed the series, she started bundling the chapters, 2-4 together for $3-$6. and I think she finally combined them all into 1 book for $9.99.

Early buyers would have paid over $45 for the complete book. The great American novel it was not. Just a regular bodice ripper. This was back in 2009 or so.
Perzackly that.

And so far, from what I've seen, the quality is...well, terrifyingly bad. I mean, even worse than your usual slapped-together Kindle eBook. (I also admit that I'm not a fan of the skinny block-style layout, but that's cosmetic.)
