She doesn't care if people pirate her books, she just cares that Amazon might take her books down from Kindle Unlimited if they discover a pirated copy online like they've done for many other authors.

Almost all of her income is from KU, not book sales, so it would crater her revenue.



May I ask what the service is? Feel free to use the email in my profile if you don't want to post publicly.

I'm in a similar bind.


It's MUSO. $7/mo per book or $70/month for your whole catalog, so I guess once you get 10 books out there the price flattens out.

Only reason I didn't mention it by name in my earlier comment is I forgot what it was called, I had to ask her.

And to be clear I don't think MUSO is a bad company or anything, just that it's insane to me that authors have to feel like they have to get this service just to maybe hopefully keep their books on KU (or maybe hopefully facilitate getting them back on if they do get removed).
