Did the NL embrace this model for their libraries?! Do library patrons pay per borrowed book? I remember soemone wrote about Sweden thinking about embracing a similar model a while back.
The only thing I don't like about KU, and the reason why I still haven't tried it out, is that there are less traditionally published and more self-published books available on KU, and those usually cost much less anyway.
Good for Amazon to try the waters in the NL (competition is always good). The store may grow or may not. I have a feeling their ebook business is not doing too great in Italy, Spain and France, judging by the number of reviews for books. It's definitely doing better in Germany and the UK.
