I assumed that Amazon has a way to know how much I read of the KU title. If not, I don't really care that much. If wifi wasn't such a drain on the battery, I wouldn't mind having it on all the time, but it is a drain, so I have to turn it off.
As to author whining. Would be nice to hear something other than whines and complains from them.
Not holding my breath.

I love being a part of SCRIBD. I'd be in KU as well, but it requires exclusivity. I also love being in libraries and am thrilled that it's possible. With KU, even though I'm not in it, I do sell less on Amazon. Now whether that is because Amazon no longer provides as much visibility for my books or because many readers are using KU and not buying as much, I have no idea. I'm not complaining. Fifteen years ago, I wasn't published at all. I was only selling a short story here or there. I sell well now and very well at certain venues. Would I like to sell more? Sure.
As a reader, I'm not complaining either. I have a lot of choices. I also have books available to me at under 5 dollars.
