More, I'd be shocked if actual KU staffers were unaware that KU is all about giving extra exposure to Indies that choose to be Amazon exclusive. Or that the lack of many big tradpub titles is a feature, not a bug.

I'd discount it just on those grounds, but that's just me thinking that having around a million exclusive titles delivering more income to authors than Nook, Kobo, Google, and probably Apple is a pretty good reason for Amazon to be doing KU.

And around a million titles to choose from isn't a bad deal for heavy readers open to exploring Indies.

The business case is strong for Amazon and the authors who participate.
Reader value?
All a matter of taste.
