What I don't understand is how the system could provide payments of say $14 for a book, which may retail at 3.99. KU should not ever pay more than the "list retail price" of the book. But, as I understand it, from reading a lot of forums, when it's pay per page read, that's what they get for a 3,000 page document. I'm sure calculating the pages is more complicated than that. But, Amazon has set a 3,000 page limit, so they could also set a maximum retail price, and/or a maximum payout per book read. That would stop some of the scamming.
That quote by me looks familiar, but I don't remember writing it, nor even thinking it. I don't see it anywhere in this thread either (maybe I'm blind). Intriguing!
