Just for clarity, it's my understanding the publishers are the ones who set the limit--which is why Amazon doesn't tell you the number. It differs for some publishers, versus their own KDP program (uploading). There was long thread on this on another forum and people did some asking around and calling CS and near as anyone could produce an answer, the limit is not set by Amazon but is adhered to because of publisher requests.
I think Amazon does flag an account for "suspicious" download activity, but that's different.
Re the whole overhead fee. No thanks. I want to pay for ONLY what I want to pay for. Those who don't want to pay are still going to find ways around paying (be it for internet entirely or whatever.) I knew a guy who used to sit outside the library when it was closed to access the "free" internet. (Taxes actually pay for the internet. ) Not that he was breaking any laws, but I don't want to see a raise in fees overall just to cover any sort of broader cost. It's almost guaranteed to be more than I'm currently paying even if you throw in my purchases.
