The end result is that Amazon gets my rating, Goodreads gets my rating, Goodreads sends an email acknowledging that I read the book and slowly Amazon for the most part will send an email acknowledging I read the book. Author gets paid.

The author doesn't get paid. One of the early scams in KU was getting customers to flip to the end of the book so the entire book would be marked as read. Amazon put paid to that and tracks your reading progress.

Amazon and I may disagree on this, but as long as the author is getting paid, I don't see the problem in reading the book on the device of my choice.

If you don't want to use a Kindle, then you just shouldn't bother with KU.
