KU uses a standard virtual "page" for payouts. It mostly strips out formatting variability.
The minute count is a rolling tally across multiple books and multiple readers.
If a publisher tallies up, say, 35,787, they'll get paid for 35,500. With the rest to be rolled over to the next month tally. Maybe.
