Businesses are rarely satisfied with having their profits remain the same year after year. That's with respect to the price drops and free ebooks, where they could make more money off the sales of additional books by the same author.
There are so many authors churning out books these days, even printed books, that I think that the temporary free and discounted ebooks are a good device for the authors to promote themselves and get noticed. In any event it certainly works for me as a way to learn about good authors.
