What is Amazon Kindle Unlimited?

Amazon Kindle Unlimited offers access to an unlimited number of titles from a catalogue of more than 1 million ebooks, plus thousands of audiobooks and a rotating list of magazines. These titles can be read on any device that has the Amazon Kindle app installed, but you can only have ten titles saved to your devices at any one time. 

Any title you download works in the same way as a standard Kindle ebook. It can be read across multiple devices and synced in the same way.

Amazon Kindle Unlimited vs Amazon First Reads

If you’re a power reader, you can additionally sign up for Amazon First Reads. Formerly known as Kindle First, it offers all customers early access to new books ranging from Kindle books chosen by Amazon’s editors for 99p (or it’s free for Prime members). You can also buy print editions, up to 10 copies of each title, from £3.99.

Amazon First Reads Kindle books can be read on any Kindle device or free Kindle reading app and become part of customers’ permanent libraries. It’s free to sign-up.

If any title, via Amazon Kindle Unlimited or Amazon First Reads, comes with an audiobook, you can, instead, select the “Read and Listen for £0.00” button instead. Once you start reading the book, you can tap the page to see other options, including the option to download the audiobook. Kindle Unlimited audiobooks can also be played through the Audible app.

When you hit your ten-book limit, Amazon will ask you to return a book to continue your download, and suggest one to remove. If you’re happy to remove that book, you can do so in a single click. To do this, go to Amazon.com/mycd, and click Your Content. If you do return a book, it’s removed from your devices but your notes and furthest read page are saved in case you borrow it again.

How to cancel Amazon Kindle Unlimited?

Whether you’re on the 30-day trial, or are a paying customer, you can cancel your Amazon Kindle Unlimited subscription by going to Amazon.co.uk/mycd and clicking Settings. Scroll down to Kindle Unlimited Settings, and click Cancel Kindle Unlimited.
