It depends...They don't make more...and they do. It depends on the author and the month but I can tell you I've made way more on the borrows of books I have in Kindle than on the books I have wide, hands down (case in point I just moved one wide that is now trying to find its "Wide" audience). I don't make a mint and have never been lucky enough (yet) to be in KU all-stars, but it's worked for me (More my romance than my fantasy titles.. That said, I don't subscribe to it as a reader. I read so slowly, sometimes, I feel like the monthly fee would be wasted. It would save on the $4.99 and up books I want but usually I'll break down and buy instead of borrowing. (I hope this makes sense, Sandra!) That said, I've read that it depends on the genre. Scifi/fantasy (and historical fiction) supposedly don't do as well in KU as, say, romance. That's what David Gaughran thinks, anyway--and that has been my experience, so far. *knock on wood* Juli D.
