I tried it but felt it wasteful when I could get the same ebooks from my library. And I do love Amazon.

@Mary keep your eyes open for a sale. Plus, you can also get a refurbished one if you don’t want to spend as much.

I signed up for it again right before Christmas because they had a great price for 12 months. I like it.

I like to read what I like to read. I felt very limited by their offerings. IF I’ve seen reviews and info about certain books, I want to read it now. Kindle unlimited was actually very limiting for me – and if there’s a book on my mind, I don’t want to wait til it “Might” show up on unlimited. But if all the books I wanted to read were included, then I’d save a ton of money. sigh.

I just cancelled mine. I just wasn’t using it. I won a bunch of books on Goodreads and I’ve always got the library. It’s just one less expense right now.

No because I get alot of my Kindle reads free from Amazon. Just go on Amazon & put in “free books” it will show you all the ones from all genres that are free to download.

I think it’s absolutely with it. I like contemporary romance and there are tons of them available on KU. There’s also some books by my favorite more mainstream authors like Alison Winn Scotch, Barbara Claypole White, Catherine Ryan Hyde just to name a few.

You read more than 10…you just have to “return” some before you borrow more.

You can have 10 at once but replace those 10 over and over as many times as you want

I think so! I love it! You figure 2 $5.99 books and you have saved, but some of mine are more than that!!

I tried it, but I’m picky what I enjoy reading and it didn’t have enough (I like literary fiction best). If I liked fantasy or romance I probably would have liked it.

I have used Unlimited for years and saved a fortune. I read a lot as well as use Prime and Goodreads. Use prime and goodreads for newer books by certain authors and Unlimited for the rest. I read many genres so there is no limit to my choices.

Also request books from public library

I have for several years. I read a lot so it pays for itself. Plus, I read all the Harry Potter books to my kiddos–also on KU. Between KU and the library, I’m rarely at a loss for something to read.

BookBub is another great website to try out. it’s free and you can set parameters for genre of books and price limit and then you get daily emails letting you know about book deals. I set mine for nothing over $1.99. Surprisingly, there are tons of ebooks that go on sale for $0.99 or even free.

Don’t you only get one book with prime? I have it but am having a hard time figuring out how to get the books..

I use prime primarily because I get free shipping with a lot of things and free movies on my roku. There is a monthly free book for Kindle too and lots of other benefits. For me the free shipping makes the yearly cost worth it…if you only did it for free books, you still will be able to download 12 free in a year. You can also borrow

I don’t. I just laugh when they say you can read for free! What’s the $10 for if it is free? I look everyday for good deals on books that I want to read.

Agree,Renee, you can often get books with audio included, which is a real money-saver in itself.
