There should be a maximum payout per borrow. If the price of the book is .99, the max the author should get per borrow is .99. Of course this would encourage authors to price their books higher, so a price cap would be in order. No book in KU can be priced higher than, say, 7.99. And, after a certain number of borrows, no fees taken out of the per-book-borrowed payout.

Also borrowers should not be able to check out over a certain amount a month. Even borrowing to try and then abandoning a book, wouldn't, say, 50 borrows a month be enough to cover that kind of habit?

These solutions seem simple, and maybe are too simple, but something needs to be done.
