Well, it has an asterisk. Two of them.
You can only read as much as your eyeballs can handle and you can only download ten books at a time.
One under-appreciated feature of KU is that a subscriber can check out any book that catches their fancy, read as far as they enjoy it and ditch it when they don't and it doesn't cost them anything. Risk free discovery.
You don't have to read 30 books a month for KU to be worth the cost.
Amazon doesn't care how much any one person reads because the 50-100 book-a-month outliers will be a tiny fraction of the 1-2M subscribers, whereas the 3-5 book a month readers are legion. Only Amazon knows for real but by all indications the average full-book equivalents read by subsctibers is closer to 4 than 10 and nowhere near 100.
