Very dumb move on her part, alienating the people who were giving her money freely when they could have just read the story without paying. She just dissed what would be her core fan base.
If it was a voluntary offering, which it seems to be, she should have just announced that in two weeks or so she would be taking the book down. That way, word of mouth by her readership would have probably brought more readers to her site. She might have lost some book sales, but she would have gained a guaranteed readership for her subsequent books.
Instead, she burns her fans and leaves a bad taste for people like me who never heard of her but who would be even less inclined to look up her work now.
It's her right to take it down if she wants, but she handled it in a very unwise manner.
