I’m a KU subscriber, and all I see are KU books (except for Books From Your Goodreads Friends). Everything else is accessible via a link.
At the least, it is a way of promoting KU to non subscribers and giving KU subscribers more direct access to content which they can download without having to switch out to Safari or whatever to buy something. Amazon has arrived at this presentation over a period of some years following banning of in-app book purchases, sample-only browsing, and now ability to borrow KU content, and while we may second-guess it, they have analytics and we do not.
I pretty much ignore Discover. I have more than enough to read, including KU content, and when I want to browse for books, I want to know the price.
