Thanks guys. So a 500 page book is better in KU than a 150 page book if it is fully read, but still makes less than a book sold depending on the price of the book.
I'm wondering if KU is having a negative impact on book sales, so that authors are pretty much stuck with KU regardless.
I also wonder if the author ought to just put a ridiculous price on their ebook to make it more attractive to KU readers. In other words, a book that is only listed at $2.99 might not look as good as a $9.99 book. They might think at the lower price they could just buy it, whereas the higher priced book they might want to read with their KU membership.
