What is Kindle Unlimited?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Kindle Unlimited is a subscription-based<\/a> service from Amazon allowing members to “borrow” a selection of e-books<\/a>, audiobooks, magazines, and comics from the Kindle<\/a> Store. Rather than purchasing e-books, Kindle Unlimited works like a read-on-demand service<\/a>, or library, allowing up to 20 titles at a time. Unlike traditional libraries, there is no due date. Members keep the titles as long as needed.<\/p>\n

The name is somewhat misleading, as a Kindle Unlimited membership is limited to a large selection of titles \u2013 not unlimited access to all titles. An Amazon Kindle e-reader<\/a> device<\/a> is not required as it also functions on smartphones<\/a>, computers<\/a>, or tablets<\/a> via a web browser<\/a> or the free Kindle app.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that Prime Reading is not the same as Kindle Unlimited<\/i><\/strong>. Kindle Unlimited is a stand-alone service, whereas Prime Reading is included with Amazon Prime. Among other differences, Prime Reading offers only a small, rotating selection of titles that changes periodically, compared to millions of titles in the Kindle Unlimited catalog.<\/p>\n
