My take on the ‪#‎Kindle‬ Unlimited (‪#‎KU‬)/Borrows ‪#‎compensation‬ kerfluffle on ‪#‎Amazon‬…
The problem is actually this: *Kindle Borrows should be set up to reflect the length of what is being borrowed!* ‪#‎Authors‬ who write longer works (and work harder) should be paid more.
A novel-length “book” needs to be defined. I propose 60K – 80K words as the minimum cut-off for a novel-length book.
Go down by 20K and get a Novella, from 40K – 59,999 words.
Go down 20K – 39,999 words and get a “novellette.”
Anything shorter than 20K is a short story.
Or, come up with a similar schematic.
A “novel” should be credited differently than a “novella” or a “novelette” or a “short story” or something even shorter, progressively less by the length of the work.
Then, readers read what they want, no policing by length of time lingering on a page or number of pages “liked.”
What do you think?

Thanks for posting, Dear Ape. Self-assessments for #authors’ #bookmarketing efforts: great idea!
