I chose Yes, I would though I really don't buy many ebooks. I subscribe to KU and get most of my books that way. John Somnez, a developer and author I really can't stand but can't get enough of released a new book. I really hoped it'd be on KU because I couldn't see myself plopping down $10 for his book. It was on KU and I immediately downloaded it.

I think the last book I bought from Amazon was Real Artists Don't Starve by Jeff Goins because I heard good things about it on podcasts and really wanted to read it. Buying it outright was the only way I could read it so I bought it. He refused KU, and I understand why.
