So borrowing no longer counts as a buy? Are they going to start doing that with public library book borrows, too? If a person gets it via KU, I'm sure they can listen with professional narration, but can they buy the audio for $1.99?

This is troubling....

The book in question is Consumed by Fire.

I don't want to sub to KU, as I don't like reading in the Kindle app. I read in epub format.
Pretty sure they closed the KOLL borrow counting for the whispersync for voice discount quite a while back (maybe around the time KU started?). At the time folks wondered about it affecting public library borrows, but it hasn't so far (although there was a brief period where that had stopped working too).
