It's probably wiser for me to just subscribe to KU in the long run (I've spent more in 1 paperback than a KU subscription before), but one main thing that prevents me from doing so is Amazon's non-competitive pricing.
Coming from a "developing country", BIG companies like Netflix, Disney, HBO, Spotify, Apple, etc have adjusted their subscriptions to match the economy. From the $10 elsewhere to just $3 here. They're the company that could probably afford to do it more than the others, but since there's no competition, they probably won't.
I miss the days where there were tons of small publishers roaming around and their ebooks were priced at 0.99 to 1.99 (sometimes 2.99 if they were big titles/authors).
