In the "old" days even public libraries didn't have a limit for quite a while. You can understand a limit for hardcopies now coz whilst it's sitting on the table of a book hog it's not available for other readers.
They did this to make for fair and equitable access to ALL borrowers. The library didn't automatically assume that you were making "photostats" of them (look it up kids).
Innocent until proven guilty surely? I first started by buying physical books aeons ago so I am a verified and identified customer.
I'm only a recent KU subscriber from last year and only just recently did a blitz (only 10 at a time) binge but I was looking for specific keyword hits, so I perfectly admit to large use.
What annoyed me was all the wasted time with support tickets before they finally fessed up and told me I'd been locked out. (Still even now - just tried it)
Some KU books were really good but others were absolute dross, some even only crappy front and back covers and just gibberish in between.
From what's been said above about well known existing scams etc from authors or Amazon, maybe we need to work out a MobileRead rating system to to leave as a review in KU for these crappy books?
If there's enough interest, maytbe it's worth it's own thread.
I propose a 0 to 5 or 10?
Eg "MobileRead Mistyfarm rates this title a 0"
Or maybe we'd just be doing the work they should be doing?
