I've taken up a deal on a KU subscription, and I don't really know how to account for it.
I had a 30-day free trial last year, and I thought I'd probably have another month later this year when I'd accumulated enough things I wanted to read, but I noticed today that there was a deal on for 2 months at a lower price, and thought I'd take it up now.
The thing is, though, how do I account for that cost? I don't yet know how many books it will effectively be split across. Do I count them as £1 each until I've covered the cost, and then free, as I now do with Bundles? What if I don't cover the cost? (Not very likely with this deal, but at full price this would need 10 books a month, which is why I'm very unlikely to be a full-time subscriber.)
Do I just count subs separately somewhere? Do I just Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Bomb? Er, stop caring, as long as I'm not spending too much? I guess I already wasn't counting Prime Reading, since I tend to think of that as a freebie tacked on to the video service.
In one sense I haven't paid for any kindle books this year since I'm still using a gift card I got from work before Christmas. (But then my actual money also comes from work; how is that different?)
I don't know. It gets complicated.
