Actually amazon doesn’t really choose what books are on KU, is the author or publisher that decides to enroll the book on KU for 90 days at the time. And when the book is enrolled it's only available on kindle in the ebook format for those 3 months. As a self-published author is actually helpful because you earn some money for the pages people read. So if someone read 400 pages I get like 2 dollars in royalties. And you get 5 days of free promotion or a countdown deal promotion if you are enrolled. So yeah, you can actually support a lot of self-published authors through KU.
I’m a fairly new subscriber..I got 4 months free on prime day. I am keeping because I love it..I read more than $ 25.00 a month for my $.7.99. I love it! There are lots of good indie authors there.
I also have been offered the same 3 months for free, do you know if you cancel your subscription after the free trial period, if books you have downloaded on to your kindle remain there or do they get deleted?
The 8gb alone can handle like 2,000 books I think but if your worried the 32gb which I think is the most amount of storage you could get is only $30 more
What if you download some books on Kindle unlimited and then later cancel your subscription, would you still be able to keep the books you download it and be able to read them, or would you not be able to unless you purchase them?
You won’t be able to listen after you stop your kindle unlimited subscription, it’s kinda like Netflix so if you have the subscription you can listen as much as you like but not if you cancel. If you like audiobooks you could try audible, because with audible you do get to keep the books after you cancel the subscription
You also get to download 10 books at the time, so if you read 10 books and want to read one more, you need to return the book to the KU library. But as long as you have the subscription you can read the book as many times as you want, but I believe the author gets the royalties once, even if you read a page twice, but not 100% sure about that last part.
The most anoying thing I have found on kindle unlimited is with some series the first book is on unlimited and then the next one is not so have to pay. Feel like a whole series should be unlimited or not
Yes I completely agree on that! I almost feel like they do it on purpose in a way to kind of pull you in so that you want to buy the next one separately
As an author is a way to actually make some money off your books, you give your fist book kinda like a sample to the reader, so if they like it they can buy the rest of the books. Is like a promotion. The royalties the author gets for having a book enrolled on KU are very small.
Let me know how it goes! I saw that recently and thought that’s a great idea! If it sucks after 3 months you don’t even need to keep it and you haven’t lost much
Thank you for this. I almost fell into Amazon's trap. I'm so glad I found your video. You're awsome! Keep up the great work! And yes... liked+subscribed to your channnel :)
If I cancel Kindle Unlimited (I'm on trial now), can I keep the books that I have downloaded to read on kindle unlimited, or is kinda like the library, you're just borrowing them?
So kindle unlimited is like a system where you borrow books and if you like them you can buy them for like £3, if you don’t like them you can send them back and get a different one, You don’t have to pay for the book itself unless you really love it and want it, you get the whole book on unlimited?
Hey Jessica. It’s kind of like Netflix where you can read as much as you want so long as you have the subscription so I think once you cancel there’s a good chance they will disappear from your kindle unless there’s some kind of loophole! If you haven’t already maybe try a free trial and test it out?
i'm trying to buy a book on amazon, but it says i can't buy with the app...does that mean the amazon app, the kindle app? i've purchased books before, apparently things have changed
Wow I’ve just checked this out and have the same error, this must be new! Looks like you have to go onto the actual Amazon website to buy kindle books now.. that is so weird
Apple wanted to take a cut from sales on the Kindle app so Amazon removed the ability to buy books on it. You have to do it on a computer browser or on a Kindle device.
I might be a bit late but .... if you have an apple Iphone it stops you buying a book via the app. I believe it's something to do with apple not getting a cut
Why do people still pay for KU when you can get library card and loan books for free and not pay anything? Plus the library has almost every book but KU doesn’t have as wide of a selection. No hate and not against it just wondering.
You can get the online library app for your library also. Mine is Overdrive. You can also request your library to purchase a book for you. My library has a link "still can't find it" you put in your library info, the name, isbn# etc...and they will send you a confirmation that they purchased it. My librarian in my VERY SMALL town told me this and also stated 99% of the time they will purchase it. I have done it several times and within a week or so I have Received a phone call that my book is in.
I actually don't know and I've tried searching online for an answer to this but I couldn't find one! Certainly anytime I've been on it they've had sections with their newest titles but I'm not too sure how often these are renewed
Hi Sanidhya, I would say it depends on how many e-books you read, if you read quite a lot and you’re not super picky about what you read them definitely but if you read less often and want specific books they might not have them on kindle unlimited so in that case I’d say no
@@kelly_savage yeah... Thanks for feedback im not a regular reader im from side of pickers... So i think i should not buy unlimited one... As per my use
WE BROKE GODS LAW. 2000 YEARS AGO, GOD PROVIDED A SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST WHO SUFFERED AND TOOK OUR PUNISHMENT ON THE CROSS.

One quibble. Amazon doesn't select which books are included in Kindle Unlimited, the book publishers do.
Oh I didn’t realise that, that’s interesting!
This is the reason why Amazon writes that the publisher wants to have this price
I’m a fairly new subscriber..I got 4 months free on prime day. I am keeping because I love it..I read more than $ 25.00 a month for my $.7.99. I love it! There are lots of good indie authors there.
That's great! Such great value if you're reading so much!!
Currently free for 3 months with O2 Priority. I'll give it a shot after watching the video 👌
Oh really that’s good! Let me know your thoughts 😊
Yo is that a miata
I also have been offered the same 3 months for free, do you know if you cancel your subscription after the free trial period, if books you have downloaded on to your kindle remain there or do they get deleted?
Thanks for this description, much needed.
I tend to want to keep my books for references and I don’t read enough indie books to make this worthwhile for me.
Thank you for this video, Kelly!
Am I able to subscribe to a magazine (The Atlantic) without having Kindle Unlimited.
This is what is called content.thanks
That’s so lovely, thank you!
thank you - I got kindle unlimited for free for 3 months after buying my kindle and their selection is SHITE
Does storage on the kindle run out fast ?
I don’t have an actual physical kindle but from what I’ve heard it’s pretty good and can handle a few hundred books
The 8gb alone can handle like 2,000 books I think but if your worried the 32gb which I think is the most amount of storage you could get is only $30 more
@@rebeccak8701 you can hold potentially as much as 6,000 books on a kindle of 8gb

That’s fab! 😄
It is now $12.80 in the US 17/4/2024. Thanks for the info.

@@kelly_savage pretty sure that’s exactly what it is. This marketing technique is quite common when it comes to online stuff…

thanks for the review. i’ll try it out, they have his special offer for 3 months for a dollar. it would be a waste not to right?
Let me know how it goes! I saw that recently and thought that’s a great idea! If it sucks after 3 months you don’t even need to keep it and you haven’t lost much
So u actually arent keeping the book on kindle if youre using kindle unlimited? But if i buy them separately, do i get to keep them?
Great info. I have no idea! I am after my first kindle device but have no idea how u pay for books and are they borrowed etc.
It’s a lot to get to know when you’re first starting out, let me know if you have any more questions👀
Thank you for this. I almost fell into Amazon's trap. I'm so glad I found your video. You're awsome! Keep up the great work! And yes... liked+subscribed to your channnel :)

Tale of the Redsail Knight, is a good short story read. I found today. Looks to be a possible prequel
Is Goosebumps audiobooks on Kindle unlimited
Will the downloaded books in my library disappear if times up for my free trial?
Yes if you don’t buy a full subscription!
If I press read now and it downloads the book ont my kindle how long do I get that book for? How many books can my 32gb kindle hold?
You should be able to hold a lot, most are only about 5MB
Thank you for the honest and clear information 🌷
No problem, thanks for watching 😊
Thanks, this was a good tip, that I completely forgot, that there are some free books when you have prime ;-)
Can I choose Japanese books ? I mean in Japanese
So kindle unlimited is like a system where you borrow books and if you like them you can buy them for like £3, if you don’t like them you can send them back and get a different one,
You don’t have to pay for the book itself unless you really love it and want it, you get the whole book on unlimited?
Hmm… guess I’ll pass on the unlimited for now.
If i download books from kindle unlimited and send them to a kindle paperwhite are they gonna stay in the paperwhite even if i cancel my subscription?
Hey Jessica. It’s kind of like Netflix where you can read as much as you want so long as you have the subscription so I think once you cancel there’s a good chance they will disappear from your kindle unless there’s some kind of loophole! If you haven’t already maybe try a free trial and test it out?
There is a loophole basically before it ends you switch the device to air plane Mode or wifi/mobile data switched off

Apple wanted to take a cut from sales on the Kindle app so Amazon removed the ability to buy books on it. You have to do it on a computer browser or on a Kindle device.
You must use a web browser to buy a book from Amazon and not the app. Dumb I know but that’s the solution.
I might be a bit late but .... if you have an apple Iphone it stops you buying a book via the app. I believe it's something to do with apple not getting a cut
It all depends on how many books you read a month I read about 50 a month so kindle unlimited rocks
I heard you say over 200 books wow that’s amazing
Am i able to listen to audiobooks with KU or do I have to get Audible?
You would need audible for that!
Why do people still pay for KU when you can get library card and loan books for free and not pay anything? Plus the library has almost every book but KU doesn’t have as wide of a selection. No hate and not against it just wondering.
I’m actually so jealous! The libraries near me have such a bad selection, I can never find any of the books I’m looking for!
You can get the online library app for your library also. Mine is Overdrive. You can also request your library to purchase a book for you. My library has a link "still can't find it" you put in your library info, the name, isbn# etc...and they will send you a confirmation that they purchased it.

Received a phone call that my book is in.
In my case is language wise… i do not live in an english speaking country, so library card doesn’t work for me..
How often are Kindle Unlimited selections changed?
I actually don't know and I've tried searching online for an answer to this but I couldn't find one! Certainly anytime I've been on it they've had sections with their newest titles but I'm not too sure how often these are renewed
great video!!!!! gREAT WORK!!!

Great review.
However, be aware of how much you rely upon the word “Really”.
Takes away from the message you are trying to convey.
Thanks for this feedback! I hadn’t even noticed before
Thanks Charlie, you are the best boy in the house 🙄
Really. Someone would really be so rude as to bring this to our attention. Really.
Findet Ihr diesen Kanal auch so klasse wie ich? 🤝💖
Übrigens, ich hab auch so einen Kanal. Ob der auch mal so gut wird?
Cracking Ibiza is on unlimited...fun easy read!
