Not sure if it's still this way, but Amazon was (info from 2017) directly contacting select authors and offering/inviting them the option to have their book included with Prime Reading. If they accepted they got $5K up front to allow their book to be available for 6 months in lieu of any other royalties.

EDIT: This info from 2018 mentions a shorter time period of 90 days for a payment of $500
