And as far as the stores go, I just read about new ones like Screwpulp and smashwords that sell directly for the authors. Seems like a better deal both for the consumer and the author. I suspect there will be lots of change in this industry in the years ahead....

Or you could sideload your books. Those don't get stats sent back to Amazon -- why would they? Unless you are afraid Amazon is doing so for clandestine purposes beyond the needs of KU. While technologically possible, I doubt it -- but then, I wouldn't worry about it regardless, so I may be dismissing the idea too readily. I certainly don't object to your worry -- although I disagree
