The payout per page read dropped so low, the gap between the royalty on a sale, and the full read of the same book grew too large.
At the same time, reads in Page Flip mode are no longer counted, and so the author is no longer paid for whole reads of books, and in fact whole series.
The whole thing came to a crunch point on Aug 1, when Amazon introduced what they call KUv3. The following day my income dropped 30%, and stayed there. It took a month to figure out why and see nothing was going to change. Amazon say there is no problem. There is. And this was the second 30% down adjustment Amazon made in just over 1 year.
I pulled out, since I do not view KU as being 'free books'. Its a subscription service, everyone pays for the use of it, and the author gets paid as well. But it no longer pays enough.

I seriously wish I could remain in, but selling books puts food on my table and pays the mortgage, and KU kept paying me less and less for more and more, cannibalizing sales, and paying me nothing for them.

All authors will face this decision at some stage. KU has been losing good authors for 2 years now. This will continue, unless Amazon fix what has become a seriously broken system.

Long version posted on Quora, from an email I sent to my mailing list:

Currently reading the Hunter series. Enjoying it, but all the grammatical and word errors are driving me crazy. Doesn't anyone proofread for you? I would be happy to. --Chris Robertson, chris@goldgryph.com

Also, how are you reading? Recent buy? Re-read of an older series? Reading through KU, but downloaded a long time ago?

Yes I have a proofreader, but most of series 4 and before was without one. The early couple of series have been re-edited, but not since my own proofing skills improved a lot.

All the books get any errors flagged by Amazon fixed. So if you highlight some, and they notify me, they will get fixed. But you have to manually update them after they get updated.

The other problem is after updating, apparently KU never gives you the updated version, only the version you downloaded the first time. So anyone re-reading one of the early series may never see the updated versions. Amazon won't say why they do that.

If I receive notifications of goofs, I do fix them. On Facebook, I put a thread in my universe group and page for each new book in case I did miss something. And I can always be sent anything privately though Facebook Messenger. All I need is the book, a short search term, and the suggested fix.(less)

Timothy Ellis answered James Krieger's question: I'm new to Amazon, and I'd like to ask you a few questions about your experience there. I've read your Quora post and I find it difficult to get 'real' information about selling on KDP etc. I know you're busy making a living, so I understand if you haven't got the time? Thanks! Jim Sure. Best place to ask them is private messages on Quora. Just go to my profile there. I accept messages from anyone who isn't blocked already. The next best is probably Facebook.
