It was implemented because people stuffed KU with all kinds of garbage otherwise. It's not a traditional library where books are bought in and carefully selected; it's mostly self-published stuff. How do you avoid fake books when authors are paid on per-book basis? Crooks stuffed KU with books filled with meaningless garbage after the first few pages and got their money. I still remember stumbling on a few of such fake books when browsing Amazon. They disappeared after the per-page system was introduced.
