Okay. I hate what Bezos does to his workers, hate how he co-opted the NY Times, and can’t stand the guy as much as any other sane person. But there’s a way we can make him lose money while you read books.
This works only if you’re a heavy reader. I promise it will remove all of your justifiable guilt about giving him money.
I’ll use an Australian example because it’s Australian numbers I know
Kindle Unlimited costs $13.99 AUD
For every page you read with Kindle Unlimited, I get around 1/3 of a penny.
If you do the math, once you’ve exceeded 4200 Kindle pages in a month, Amazon is paying the author(s) more money than you’re paying Amazon.
That’s 10 and a half books. I’ve seen the prodigious output (input?) from some of you readers. That’s barely more than a week’s worth of reading.
I think nine of my books are on Kindle Unlimited. And if you’re willing to play this “kill them by a thousand cuts” game, there are over 90,000 ebooks on Amazon enrolled in Kindle Unlimited.
Fire at will.
Read a good book or a dozen.
