I've been using KU as a reader for the past four years, about 5 books on average per month (mostly lighthearted fantasy). First became aware of this issue on the fantasy sub last month (https://old.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/106ebm3/sometimes_you_have_to_go_backward_to_go_forward_a/ https://old.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/106ebm3/sometimes_...) - read the first book of that series, liked enough that I would've read the sequels on KU but not so much that I'd pay for it (2nd book costs more than 2.5 times the KU monthly subscription cost where I live). Saw a few more such cases on twitter after too. Just can't understand Amazon's stance here.
