Is this true for all Amazon PURCHASED books? I knew of this for KU books, but wasn't aware (or simply don't remember) it being the case for purchased books.
I can't see any author accepting for a payment scheme like this. But if they do indeed go for this, that's their issue, not mine. I have no obligation to use a specific device to read on and allow it an internet connection just so an author can get paid. I pay my money for the book and Amazon takes that. If Amazon then does not pay the author unless I read the book, and only on an Amazon device connected to the internet, wow. Those authors should really take a hard look at the devil they crawled into bed with.
