Standard advice used to be to put all that stuff at the back, so it gave a longer sample. But with KU, the advice is to load as much stuff at the front as you can to reduce the amount that needs to be read before you get your borrow credit. It also seems to reward people for putting out very short books, since the payment is the same regardless of length. So releasing a longer book in lots of very short segments and calling it a serial is likely to become common. And maybe have the whole book available for sale outside KU for everyone else.
