I remember an indie author on one of the Amazon forums posting about KU and how authors were/are paid. She was concerned because she had been told that a reader of a KU book could use the Page Flip feature, read that way, with PF active, and that would mean that Amazon had no way to tell how many pages had been read.
I told her I couldn't conceive of anyone wanting to read that way, but she insisted it was a way to prevent the author from being paid.
If you are unaware of what PF is...it shrinks the page and creates a sort of carousel of pages you can use to flip or roll back and forth.
I'm curious if anyone else has heard of that. I mention it only because it also has to do with KU.
I used a trial of KU back when it started. It wasn't a good fit for me, so I didn't keep the subscription.
The drekatude of indie books on Amazon is staggering.
