Saw an ad, 10 book series for $.99

And I was going to impulse buy it. I mean I’d give a dollar to practically anyone and the author probably spent at least a couple years writing those 2200 pages. I had an image of this poor and destitute idealist sitting in a curb somewhere and I was going to hit the Buy Now button but then came a crushing realization. I saw that this series was ‘free’ with my Kindle Unlimited subscription. I forgot to cancel. Again.

My wife came in to give me a kiss and after I told her, she angrily stomped out.

Y'know, if the book is on KU and you subscribe, you could read it and that author would get probably something like $12 as opposed to the ~$0.35 a purchase would get.

(IIRC a KENP is about half a printed page, and the author gets paid a fluctuating amount currently a bit over $0.004 per KENP read up to 3000 per book)
