I don't because that is $120 a year. With the exception of the voracious readers, I don't know many people that spend that much on books a year.
My other reason is one week I might have hours to read and other weeks I might not.
KU was Amazon's answer to those readers that wanted a subscription on their ereaders so they didn't have to read on a tablet or a computer.
I am glad to see that changing the payout has brought more good authors in.
I know Atunah has subscribed and I know she is very picky about her reading.

10% of Kindle readers?
Really?
Seems very high.
(Amazon has about 40-50M Kindle accounts worldwide, last I heard.)
If it's that high Amazon is making out like a bandit.
(Given the payouts and pages read I would've expected something between 500K and 2M.)
