Hi everyone! I’m sure if you are here, you are wondering if Kindle Unlimited is worth it.

You get to discover a lot of books that you wouldn’t otherwise find. So, I hope this post helps explain exactly what it is and if it’s really worth it in your household.

What is Kindle Unlimited?

Kindle Unlimited is a service that’s provided by Amazon. You have access to millions of books at your fingertips. This is a product that’s constantly being updated, so daily, books are either being taken off or added on. Basically, Kindle Unlimited is a lending library where you have access to tons of books. You’re able to read at your own pace and even have access to audiobooks and magazines.

This is a pretty awesome service and can help a lot of readers who don’t have access to a library. I hate to say that there are a lot of people out there who don’t. So, Kindle Unlimited is a great way for readers to have a chance to read when there’s no other way. Since it’s updated on a daily basis, you really won’t get bored with it!

 How does it work?

The First step is that you have to sign up for it to gain access to the book. After reading this post, if you decide that you want to sign up for it, then you can find it here. In order to find the books after signing up for it, you need to go to the navigation menu, click see all departments, then click on Kindle, and that’s where you will find Kindle Unlimited. You’ll have access to ten books at a time. The books you borrow have no due date, so you can take as long as you want to finish a book.

Where can you read the books?

This is one thing that makes Kindle Unlimited worth it. You don’t have to pay tons of money and buy a Kindle in order to have access to the books. All you need is the Kindle app on whatever smart device you want to read on. If you want to use multiple devices, then that will work too.

The Kindle app makes getting Kindle books completely worth it! If you start a book on one device, then you are able to pick up where you left off on another device. You don’t have to use a specific device just to keep reading your book. This helps out a lot because if you forget the device you normally read it on, then you can continue reading on your phone or another device you may have with you.

What’s the price? Is Kindle Unlimited free for Prime members?

Kindle Unlimited is $12/month and unfortunately doesn’t have anything to do with Prime Reading. It is its own separate service and is pretty easy to use. If you have access to Prime, you can read some books from Prime Reading, but a lot of those books are Kindle Unlimited books, and you won’t get access to all of them. If you’re set on trying this service, then at the moment, you can actually get one month free here. Every once in a while, they will have a deal going on where you can get it free for two or sometimes three months! I’ll keep that updated on this post!

Pros and cons of Kindle Unlimited

Kindle Unlimited Benefits

I kind of said this a bit in the pros of Kindle Unlimited, but there are a lot of Kindle Unlimited benefits. For starters, it’s not quite like the library. Yes, you can check the books out, but you also have unlimited time to read them. That’s the part of it that I love because I don’t have to feel rushed to read it, and people aren’t putting it on hold while I’m trying to read it.

So, I would say that Kindle Unlimited has a lot of benefits. There are a lot of books that have been added to Kindle Unlimited, including The Perfect Marriage and The Inheritance Games.

Now, years later, even some of the not-so-well-known authors have become big through Kindle Unlimited. So, getting Kindle Unlimited at this point is worth it now. Maybe not so much back when they first started it.

So, is Kindle Unlimited worth it?

This is ultimately your decision, but I do think it’s worth it. There are so many books that are on Kindle Unlimited that you wouldn’t typically find. I did say that there are a lot of indie authors on there, but indie books are some of the best books out there. The books aren’t your typical recycled plots either, and I bet you could find some of the best books on there!
