Oh, that's not an opinion. It's fact, which why Amazon has the stupid system for KU. Real libraries in UK & Ireland both have to buy the book (or licence the ebook) and pay a per loan royalty. It's irrelevant if the book is read. Amazon's system of getting the content free, deciding on a pot and then sharing that according to pages read cheats authors/publishers and invades the privacy or readers/users/public. Amazon's KU is wrong, as is getting all but large publisher content exclusively. An author or small publisher can't even give away copies free if they are on KU.
But it's sales that feeds and houses the authors.
