Kindle Unlimited - worthwhile?

Sign up to Bookbub online. You get a daily email with free, 99p etc books. I’m on my third Kindle. I’ve worn out the buttons on previous two as I read 7/8 books per week!

Downloaded a couple of Kindle books when I was in hospital for cancer surgery but much prefer a physical book so Unlimited would be a waste for me

There are a few Kristin Hannah books on unlimited, all are great

In Herts we have access to Hertfordshire Libraries borrow box app. It's fabulous, all the audiobooks and ebooks are free!

Sign up for bookbub, you get one e-mail a day of cheap books, you set your preferences . I have had it for years, lots are free as they are series starts or new authors, the rest are 99p to about 3.99. you get no hassle and I like it

I had a Kindle Unlimited account for a while but found I didn't read enough to warrant the monthly cost. I now buy occasional special deals from authors I like (I love a good murder!) which enable me to read them at my own pace - much cheaper than the subscription.

Thanks for telling me about Bookbub, I 'd never heard of it before. I tend to dip in and out of Kindle Unlimited. At the moment I'm not a member. The quality of the new books is often poor I find. Some of the books have very weak plots, are badly written and are poorly edited. On the other hand you can sometimes find older books there which are worth reading. It depends but it works for me joining for a few.months then having a break. I agree that some o f the Amazon 99p deals are good and also the Prime reads, if you have a Prime account.

Am also Amazon Prime - had no idea this meant I could borrow kindle books. Who knew! Glad I asked.

I like crime fiction and psychological thrillers and have read hundreds with Kindle Unlimited. I also pay up to £2.99 for a book occasionally.

I use Bookbub too. Rarely pay for a book and can usually find something in the free books list.

We have kindle unlimited and it’s worthwhile for us. I’m also a fan of Bookbub.

We subscribe to Amazon Prime, so can borrow Kindle books, but don’t have Kindle Unlimited.

Google to see if you can get a free trial or reduced subscription. I pay for it monthly as both my husband and I read books from them . Like biographies and he likes police procedure ones.

It all depends what you want to read. DD and I share an account and sign up for Kindle Unlimited when we discover a series we want to read. Be warned - you don’t keep the book. they do take it back so you need to keep a list of what you have read.

Will look out for book bub - thank you

So I'm not going mad - thank you!

I read a lot, mainly murder mysteries, and for me kindle unlimited is worthwhile. You can pay monthly so if you don't like it you can cancel easily. It hasn't cost you anything if you don't like a book, you just return it.

I see that a site called Book Bub has a newsletter with the new releases on kindle unlimited which is helpful. Also Amazon send you loads of emails with suggestions.

There’s the odd one that’s good, or by an author I already know and like, but TBH I’ve discarded many of the offerings halfway through, or even before. I don’t know whether they’re mostly self published, but I can’t imagine quite a few of them ever having been bought by mainstream publishers.

A lot of my reads come from the regular Amazon 99p offerings, though. There are often good ones there.
