I don't think the price matter as much as the fact that this comes across as nickle and diming customers.
I'd probably pay (or expense) $100-$150 for a really good book, with videos, interactive examples, etc. But this pricing just puts me off the whole book as you can buy the "full" book, the "fuller" book, the "fuller" book with support for bugs in it, etc.
I also expect a book to be reference material that I can share with colleagues as needed (we have an office library), so team pricing per seat comes across as quite money-grabbing.
To be clear, I'm not at all criticising the quality of the content, and I'd be willing to pay good money for good technical content. I just don't think this pricing is very respectful of customers.
