Endless yellow halls. The hum of fluorescent lights. The stench of damp carpet. You're alone in Backrooms—or at least, you hope you are.

Interesting article! I’m curious to see how these payout trends will evolve in the future, especially as more authors and publishers jump on the Kindle Unlimited bandwagon. It’s great to see such detailed analysis and insights into the KDP Global Fund and its distribution. Keep up the good work!

I love KU, but worried about payment to authors. I read at least 5 books a week and love the books that continue the stories of other people in the original books. I often purchase the ones I love and others from an author whose books are not on the UK books.

I gave up reading books as I have sore wrists and found the print too small. Kindle has make it all possible to read books again.

I now have my news programs in the background and just skin the newspapers I use to read from cover to cover… not much good news these days. I would rather get lost in a good story.

In reply to Charlene. How do you know how many downloads you've had and how pages were read on KU? I just published my first book on Saturday and would love to know.

I am supremely happy with KU and KDP. I push out at least 2-3 books per year in three different genres with three different nom de plumes. I have no known readership and can only attribute one sales bump to receiving Editor’s Choice for a title last year from the Historical Novel Society (an unsolicited accolade that I knew nothing about beforehand). I do pay for my covers and for an editor (at a combined cost of about $500 per title) but never saw this as more than a hobby. With nine titles in three years, zero advertising, and no online presence, I average about 75,000KEMP per month. I average under 20 actual ebook sales per month and usually have between 1-3 paperback purchases through Createspace. My readers are clearly devoted to KU.

Everything has been 100% organic. Honestly, KDP is the only reason I make a little bit of cash every month. Without it I don’t know where I’d be in this fun little journey.
