His Wool is $4.99.
If I borrow it and read all 530 pages, he will get roughly $2.50.
If I buy the book outright he will earn roughly $3.50.
Now the thing is if I borrow Wool and 9 other books, I have to return one before I can get another borrow.
So still not seeing an issue.
Right. I pay Amazon and they give books (in page-sized segments). But Amazon isn't selling me books under the KU program. K. Queue music from the Twilight Zone.
