I would certainly sign up for KU if it was available in my country. I read lots of self-published authors, mostly in the SF/Fantasy genre. Some of them are pretty good. Of course they're not monuments of great literature, but they're pretty good entertainment.

I would continue to buy books as well, both tradpubs and self-pubs. But I would not mind subscribing to a borrowing program like KU. Library ebooks are not available in my country either, so that means I have to buy any and all books I want to read at full price. Even if I'm not sure whether I 'd like it or not.

I'm actually quite pissed at Amazon that they've still not made KU available in other countries besides the current handful. After all, it's been 5 years.
