Just checked out of curiosity and readitlater pro has 100k+ downloads. There couldn't be a clearer indication that Marco is leaving money on the table.

He knows he's leaving money on the table. He just doesn't need to make it and doesn't want the complexity of doing so.
With a price of $0.10, that's about $10k. The pricepoint is about 50x less than Instapaper.
That's a temporary promotion.
The description says 'launch sale: 40% off', so the normal price would be what? $0.17?
Google is in the middle of a 10 day sale that puts 100 apps on sale for $0.10. The minimum price in the Android Market is normally $0.99.

No, Google is doing a promotion of certain apps for $0.10 each day. If I remember well, the common price of the app is $1.00 (I bought if a long time ago). It is a great app and they are certainly making good money with it.
