I don't think that will upset anyone, Terry, and I appreciate that you shared. I love knowing you have a strong international base via Kobo.

Just thinking, though, that with 24 pages of text and illustrations and about half a cent per page, it may take forever to earn anything. I'll test it and see how it does. Can't hurt for 90 days. Thanks for the article!

A Hard NO here. I want all my books, including my perma-free first in series books, available to as many readers as possible, not just those tied to the Zon. I don't believe in exclusivity, and--sorry--I buy my books from Barnes & Noble, and never from KU. My attitude is if there's ONE reader who wants my book, they should be able to get it wherever they prefer to shop. Also, Kindles aren't the main e-readers in other countries. I can't count how many international readers I have via Kobo.

I'm right there with you, Lisa. I really liked having things broken down so clearly.
🙂 🙂

Oliver hi!

So you make a good point. Not everyone on KU is a rockstar and, for that matter, the same is true for non-KU authors. But genre fiction does very well there - and in fact running ads for a genre fiction book without the KU link can be a struggle because so many of the readers get their books via KU. But I will say, I've been a subscriber of KU for a long time and while not every book has been great, I haven't seen the kind of issues you're mentioning - maybe I've just been lucky? But yes, you do run the chance of someone not finishing your book! Hope that helps!

Thanks. I don't have any in KU. I did have a couple of client books that were in KU, but for our genres we found that we did better wide.

I know authors who do much better in KU, too. So it is definitely nuanced! You laid it out well.
