On a different note - does anyone know how Amazon pays the publisher/author for these KU books it is offering?

The authors are paid out of a single "pot of cash" that is divided up across all books borrowed in a given period. The price of the book does not matter. They take all the borrows and some pre-set amount (this month I think that amount is 2 million) and divide it across the authors.
