The thing is, I kind of agree with Howey. He should get the benefit of getting more sales simply because he was nice enough to give the books away for a flat fee to read. But then if it wasn't for KU, I would have not bought (and I won't need to as long as I can find them in KU) any of his books. So he gets money from me that he would have never seen before. If it was KU 2.0 already when I read Sand and Silo[ he would have made more money. I really dislike those finnicky short stories and to piece together a book. So even under KU 1.0 I would go for the omnibus edition rather than singles.
