Kindle Unlimited

What Is Kindle Unlimited and How Does It Work?

Kindle Unlimited is sort of like Netflix for Amazon's digital e-books, called Kindle books.

You pay a monthly subscription fee for access to the full Kindle Unlimited library where you can read and enjoy as many Kindle books as you want. That's exactly why it's called "Unlimited."

Kindle Unlimited Explained

Book publishers can choose to include their books in Kindle Unlimited when they list them on Amazon. There are over one million book titles, thousands of audiobooks and popular magazines included in the Kindle Unlimited library.

Just like you don't own movies you watch on Netflix or songs you listen to on Spotify, you don't own any books you read through Kindle Unlimited. You're essentially borrowing them until you're finished reading them and decide to remove them from your account—or until you decide to end your Kindle Unlimited subscription.

How Does Kindle Unlimited Work?

Kindle Unlimited works in a similar way to purchasing regular Kindle books. When you want to read a Kindle Unlimited book, you add it to your account and deliver it to your devices with just one click. The only real difference is that you're not charged for the individual price of the book.

How Much Does Kindle Unlimited Cost?

Kindle Unlimited is $9.99 a month. Amazon offers a 30-day free trial so you can try it out and see how you like it before you decide to pay for a subscription.
