Subscribers pay for that service, and authors need to stop seeing those readers as freebie seekers.

I get on my soap box about this because it is very wrong to call KU a ‘free’ service or to say the readers are getting free books as you have in this article.

I am a KU subscriber (in Australia), and it costs me AUD$167-40 per year. That is far from free. But that is not the reason for my discontent over this matter.

Authors are doing those subscribers an injustice by looking at them as freebie seekers. For many authors, KU earnings far outweigh outright sales. Without them, our earnings would be far lower. Those readers need to be treated with the respect they deserve.
