href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/kindle-unlimited\">Kindle Unlimited<\/a>, where readers have unlimited access, Kindle Vella offers <strong>episodic releases unlocked by Tokens<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>With Kindle Vella publishing, authors release their stories one episode at a time, usually between 600 and 5,000 words. The first three episodes are free, and after that, readers use Tokens to continue to read Kindle Vella stories.<\/p>\n<p>Readers can follow stories they like, give a Thumbs-up to episodes they enjoy, check out Author Notes for extra insights, and also use tags to find stories that match their interests.
