That seems... a lot. For what you get. When one considers that one could join a
good OverDrive library for substantially less. (Like Ohio's! Which I assume is free to you.) I know OverDrive means juggling wishlists and waitlists, but the books are so much better. I also can't help thinking that an
only month-to-month subscription means that a lot of people work up a KU wishlist, join, read madly for a month or two and then quit, letting their wishlist repopulate for the next attack, when they'd rejoin for a discounted year or half year if it were on offer. I also also
can't help thinking that the psychology of under $10, as in $9.99, is a lot more appealing than $11.99.
Granted, I'm not KU's target customer. But I've been toying with the idea of reupping at a promotional rate because I'd like to read the
Atlantic. It seems, however, that Amazon doesn't want my business at 99¢/month.
