I'm a subscriber to Kindle Unlimited. which I like very much for finding access to new, to me at least, authors (the Science fiction & fantasy areas have much to offer, I think).

However, it seems some established authors avoid something like that completely, some seem to be offering some access to some of their stuff that way, and others seem to jump in with both feet!

But can some authors with publishing experience discuss the advantages/disadvantages? Is it good for new authors? Is the compensation fair? and is the compensation adequate considering the work involved? Does the type of book matter? I don't see that many technical books like photography books in the mix.

Should a new author just try to market his/her ebook the conventional way? Is trying to find a conventional 'old school' publisher more desirable? Does publishing one way limit the author's options and access to the other ways later? The publishing industry seems pretty fragmented right now to an outsider.

I'd appreciate any insight from a producers POV rather than a consumer's POV.
