This news is great for me. The throttling approach is better than the credits because it prevents a few people with excessive usage from limiting the experience for everyone. And, they are keeping the price at $8.99 per month. I'd even be willing to pay more. I didn't find the credit system that limiting except for audiobooks.
The article says that the super-users were reading 100 books a month on the previous unlimited system. The article is very open that the issues were with romance, mysteries and young adult. You were allowed to accumulate 3 audiobook and 9 book credits on the credit system, and there was still a "free zero credit" catalog (which was not just public domain). I would hope the throttling calculation is something equal or greater than those numbers. The FAQs say they will send a warning about your monthly usage. and you can contact support for assistance if you think you aren't an abuser and they will evaluate your case.
