Question regarding procedure . . .

This has been bothering me for a while, but I don't know if this is a valid peeve or if I'm just being a curmdgeon. Should books on the Kindle Unlimited program be counted as Free or a Deal? (Actually, it bothered me more when I wasn't signed up for KU so I'm not above serving my self interest, but I still think it is theoretically a valid point.)

I mean we ARE paying for those books at what is effectively a contractual price. The price a KU user pays for a book really depends on how many books he or she downloads a month, so maybe it's a deal, and maybe it isn't.

I do think KU is important enough that when a popular author joins the KU program, it should be announced . . . somewhere. But is Deals, Freebies, and Resources the best place for it?

I'm willing to go with the consensus, but I do wonder if we are diluting the value of "DF&R"
