Maybe the US will be next?

From The Digital Reader:

More at the source.

Payment is based on reading time rather than pages read.

https://kobowritinglife.zendesk.com/...ay-publishers-

Payout is per 300 minutes. After they take their standard 40% cut.
I suppose they went by time so speed readers can't clean then out?

Not sure how much creators might net but something is better than nothing so it might serve as a replacement for permafree.

So, anybody interested in seeing it in the US?
I just buy my books rather than renting them, even though rental would save me money. So Kobo Plus would be meh for me. But I would like to see Amazon get some competition.
