So the KU total is probably a bit lower.
But the core point stands: just as Amazon UK is the second largest ebook vendor globally, KU is very likely the second largest market for ebooks in the US.
The competition really needs to up their game; sometimes it seems Amazon is competing against a vacuum.

Small/medium publishers "borrows" might be down overall compare to self-publishers but since they are paid full royalties instead of "by the KENPC page", it will even out.
