From a consumer point of view, it's a good deal. From an author/reader point of view, not so much. I really can't imagine any of the top line readers or authors buying in to this. I can imagine authors and readers trying to make a name for themselves buying in for a little while. At least that seems to be the pattern that developed with KU.
Of course, audible has been owned by Amazon for a long time, so of course if audible screws over the authors and readers, it's going to create concern in the KU area.
