I co-wrote _Agency_ with Sean Fenian, and use this account to talk about various and sundry writing-related topics.
Ken's not wrong. By all means, find authors you like on KU. If you find a book you'd grade as 4- or 5-star, *please* consider buying a copy. We get more royalties, our sales rank improves, our visibility goes up, and for most of us small fish we price ourselves lower than a Starbucks latte.

This is also why I don't use Kindle Unlimited.
Any place where single corporation determines the pool that all writers split every month is going to enshittify asymptotically as more writers join it. Especially "AI" writers.
It is, at best, an author discovery tool. Public libraries do that.
