What’s the Deal with Kindle Unlimited?

Does Amazon’s subscription reading service still make sense in 2022?

Kindle Unlimited, Amazon subscription reading service allows members to read up to 20 books at a time for a small monthly fee. You’re also able to read certain magazines, newspapers and audiobooks. However, there is a new, more expansive selection of audiobooks available for a monthly subscription fee through Audible Plus.

Is Kindle Unlimited a Good Deal for Readers?

If you like to read a lot of books, subscription services like Kindle Unlimited are a good bargain.

The thing that sets KU apart from memberships like Scribd or Kobo Plus is that KU requires exclusivity, so there will be some books you can’t get anywhere but Amazon. KU tends to have a larger catalog than other subscription services.

Unfortunately, because some authors don’t want to be tied to Amazon, some of the books you want to read won’t be enrolled in KU.

You can always take a free trial to see if it works for you. Please remember to set yourself an email reminder before the end of the trial, just in case you’d like to cancel.

Sometimes, Amazon runs special deals like 3 months of KU for $1, so keep your eyes out!
