It is more about a long term and short term effect. To pull books after such a short time that KU is in place might be mistake long term. It takes time to build up readers that will follow you. I would not be very pleased when I read a few books from one author and next time I check to get another book it is gone out of KU. Throwing a bone and then taking it away just in time so I cannot get it is not nice.
I just noticed that gift subscriptions of KU are available - that sounds like a great idea instead of gifting a book (hit or miss) or a gift card.
