Re: Kindle unlimited-If you're thinking of getting it
I found books that were $6-$9 on there and were from big name authors. People I would love to read and it save me money. If my budget changes over this year - I intend to get kindle unlimited.
I saw authors like:
Elle Kennnedy, Sarna Bowen, Cambria Hebert, Mary Calmes and more!

Ok, I know that the options are rather limited if you already have a list of authors and do not want to spend time experimenting with books. However, I read at least one book a day so I find it very reasonable. I also am subscribed to BookBub and obviously this site, so they help me navigate the kindle unlimited selections.
Reasons for why I enjoy my Kindle Unlimited:
1. Famous Authors DO have some of their books on KU. Sometimes. They might not have all of them or even the ones that you were looking for, but there are options out there.
2. You can have 10 books at a time with no time limits. Unlike Scribd which only offers (I believe 2 a month?), 10 books with unlimited is well...limitless (until you cancel your subscription).
3. Amazon is very nice and has good customer service in all my experiences. I was a Prime user for a while and a Kindle Unlimited subscriber for the past 3 years, so maybe it is a loyalty perk. There have been times when I would accidentally buy a book instead of borrow it, but Amazon refunded me quickly.
4. You discover new books. Authors still get paid a little for ever page you read. It is not much BUT it is still help for authors you would have never considered before. Very often I read a new book on KU, love it and review it, only to find it a year later with an improved cover, improved content, and a bestseller title.
TL;DR Kindle Unlimited is the way to go if you read more than 10 books a month and know how to find treasure reads amidst a large selection.

I love being able to download and start reading a book immediately, without even leaving my reading recliner!
I have been able to get many titles, that my excellent library doesn't even have in the Kindle version yet.
