Eh not sure I agree with that much.

First books/discovery is a bit of a commodity because they don't know who you are yet, same as new apps can be. But once a reader has come to enjoy your writing, they tend to be willing to pay more to keep enjoying your work.

A great example is several fantasy publishing houses have begun putting first ebooks in series on sale for 2.99 to lure people in and get them to pay full price for the rest of the series. I've already gotten hooked on one series this way.
