I think we may have misunderstood this a little.
As far as I can see this it is part of Al-Anon's 12 Traditions that Al-Anon does not affiliate with any outside organisation or other and there is a reason for it. Namely someone who first got in touch with Al-Anon could get a wrong impression of what Al-Anon is all about.
Neither do I think that Al-Anon is money hungry since the books mentioned are pretty cheap and affordable IMO.
I am sad though that I won't be able to read the daily readers because even though I have all the above mentioned books I loved to read them on SR at work just to get back to the sane place in my head when things got difficult.
Anyway I am sure there is a good reason for why Al-Anon does this and I am sure it has more to do with protecting the Al-Anon message than collecting money.
I am very happy that this place exists and I will keep coming to learn from all your wisdom.
Thanx for the great job you're doing and good luck for the future.
