I had it but then I found I wanted to read authors that weren’t included so I stopped it.

I had it, but the authors I like reading were not included so I cancelled my subscription

Cancelled mine. I never used it. I do the lending library now for free books think it’s a book a month. Generally the free ones I don’t read until I have nothing to read.

I tried it a cupl of times in the past, but choice wasnt for me. I am now using it again tho, as the selection has vastly improved, imo … and introduces me to new authors and books x
All down to personal taste i guess x

I love it! I’ve developed a search technique I use to weed out what I consider yucky books and have found many books and authors I wouldn’t have ordinarily tried on my own. Well worth the expense for me!

I love it! I found some great new authors and after a while using it they make recommendations based on what I’ve already read.. worth doing the free trial at least and if you don’t like it you don’t have to sign up for the paid version

I tried it for a free run but to be honest I never got around to using it properly, too many books to read, real and kindle.

I’m a bibliomaniac. Works great for me. Introduces numerous authors that are new to me.

I also belong to two book clubs, so have those two to read (last one was 1,500 pages, plus my other books, maybe I should have organised my reading better, I have hundreds of real books and hundreds of kindle books (downloaded 8 last month) so in reality, it’s all about time management and finding books you want in the first place. 🙂 Go for a free trial and see how you get on.

I’ve had it but I don’t always have a lot of free time to read especially when I’m studying so i have cancelled, but I thought it was good

If you read a lot then yes absolutely. I read 8 to 10 books a month so use it all the time

I’m in my second year and love it. I read a lot and have found some brilliant authors through it. I still pay for books that I want that aren’t in it tho’. I certainly get my money’s worth!

I wouldn’t be without it. I get through three or four books a week, and quite honestly I’ve found so many really good UK authors – some of whom are now friends. If you only want the big names, it’s not for you. But if you want to try it and get to know new authors ask on here for recommendations. Here’s a few to start you off. Faith Martin, Joy Ellis, Damien Boyd, all of whom have written series that are well worth getting stuck in to.

It wasn’t for me. Kindle books tend to be fairly cheap anyway and I could never find the books I wanted on Unlimited

Noooo, it’s not a book. I would miss having a bookcase full of lots of books and a comfy sofa to just sit there and read. Besides you can pick up books cheap these days.

Yes…. I keep seeing more books that I would like to read and then have to go through my existing loans to decide which to swap with. Plenty of choice and a good way to discover new authors

I’ve had and not had it, and had it again. I feel pretty “meh” about it. I use the Overdrive app and borrow 90% of my ebooks for free from the public library.

You only need to have been wanting 2 books at 3.99 each and the cost would be covered a few books I’ve wanted to read haven’t been on it so it’s a bit hit and miss at times ?
