So far there have been no KU borrows during the ad period. The ad doesn't specifically mention KU, but anyone clicking through can see it's in the program. Authors have to balance sales and borrows. Soul is also a stand alone so it tends to sell differently than my genre/series fiction.
In short...it's a crap shoot. Sometimes things work and sometimes they don't!

Right. But I was thinking if authors are ultimately forced into KU and sales fall far behind KU reads, a higher price might make the book more attractive to KU readers than say .99 book.
Maybe someone could price their book at $1,000 and get KU readers just out of curiosity lol!
