The chapter model was happening before KU. Ilona Andrews did it with CleanSweep (granted, they were free until the whole thing was bundled into a book). She/He released one chapter per whatever on various blogs. It gave the bloggers visibility, it gave the work visibility, etc. She isn't the only one trying these types of things. Publishers are doing partial releases too (they are selling those from what I can tell). But KU is just going to make that problem worse, at least in the short term.
