Kindle Unlimited, or KU, is an Amazon package where voracious readers can download and read as many ebooks as they want from the over one million books in the Kindle Unlimited library for the flat rate of $9.99 per month.
Now might be a good time to sign up when, due to the Corona virus, it is often difficult to get to the physical library.
And bonus - e-books arrive germ free!
You may have noticed the tantalizing price of $0.00 on many kindle ebooks and wondered, how can I get that? Well if you're enrolled in KU you can!
How do you know which books are in Kindle Unlimited?
Above is one of my books on Amazon, and you can see the $0.00 Kindle Unlimited price as circled on the Amazon book page above.
Because I live in Canada, my KU account is attached to my Canadian Amazon account. And yes, there are only 2 reviews on my Canadian account, because Amazon won't share the American reviews.
Come on fellow Canadians, show me some love!
You don't have to have a kindle e-reader to take advantage of Kindle Unlimited. You can download a free Kindle app to your phone or tablet, as in the other circled item in the picture above. (I talk more about how to do that here.)
Americans can find KU on amazon.com, and customers in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, India, China, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Canada and Australia can sign-up for Kindle Unlimited in their local online Amazon store. Amazon is planning to continue expanding the service to other countries soon.
And yes, you can find many of my Fortune Bay books HERE on Kindle Unlimited.
Happy reading!
A good explanation of what's available!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the very informative post. I know a lot of readers don't understand the advantages of KU.
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised at the percentage of my income that is from "pages read" on KU. Good explanation.
ReplyDeleteThe explanation of KU gave me a better understanding. I'm with you about the limitations on reviews. I have a healthy fan club in Canada and the UK, but only American reviews are shared. Doesn't seem fair.
ReplyDeleteThanks for explaining kindle unlimited. Makes more sense now.
ReplyDeleteI just put my books in KU this year and I think it's a good deal for a lot of readers. Some romance readers read 4 or 5 books a week!
ReplyDeleteNicely done, Judy! A lot of people don't know what KU is so I think they'll appreciate this.
ReplyDeleteI was always wondering about kindle unlimited, and how the authors get paid through it.

I don't read a lot of e-books, so I would not use this.

KU is a great deal if you're an avid reader. Maybe even if you're not. I'm happy to be an author in it. Thanks, Judith for this post. It's easy to forget about this other library!
ReplyDeleteKU is not for me. I would feel to pressured and I like to reread books.
