[…] I mean, it certainly favors the romance genre. Overwhelmingly, women’s fiction/romance/erotica tops the charts in terms of physical book sales and book deals to this day. It’s also a well-established fact that romance authors do well on Kindle Unlimited, and there are stats to back that up. […]

I just stumbled across this marvelous post, for which many thanks. Is there any info available on the demographics of Kindle Unlimited subscribers? I imagine they are overwhelmingly female, but any data would be welcome. Many thanks.

In reply to Fiona Forbes. Hey Fiona, You cannot find data on individual readers who are reading your book via KU, but you can see the pages read in your KDP dashboard. Multiple readers in KU can read your title at the same time.

In reply to Mary Lee. I've heard authors who do this referred to as greedy by a KU reader.

In reply to Jinx Schwartz. I just put a note in the back matter of my books that all are free on KU. :)

Thank you for the review of KU. As a new author enrolled in KU, I found it very helpful.
However, I do have a couple of questions:
1) Is there any way of finding out where my KU readers are, separate from the general graph on the Dashboard showing where one’s books are being sold?
2) Is there a breakdown of how many pages each reader has read?
3) Can more than one reader at a time read one’s book on KU?
Perhaps the answers are somewhere on Kindle, but I haven’t found them yet.

I have a large number of books on KU, and until the April price rise, I regularly hit 1000 pages a day …. suddenly it has crashed to closer to 500. I am not alone a friend, and a better writer than me has seen his page reads drop to zero .
A few of my readers have said that they are struggling to justify the £10 fee (approx) in these straightened times.
I am getting very disillusioned with KU and am thinking of going wide.
Reading what you are saying about the value of the fund going up and the billions of pages still being read … are the scammers back, faking pages read again?

In reply to Mark Bounds. In order to put your ebooks on KU, they must NOT be available for sale anywhere else.
