Thanks for your comments. I find that there are a number of classic novels available through KU that come with the audiobook as a bonus. Since I like to read while listening (it increases my reading speed and helps me keep focused on the page), this is a big plus for the service.
Some libraries will also let you borrow books that you can read through the Kindle service. Once you borrow from the library, their link will take you directly to your Amazon Kindle account.
Here’s my tip to cut your Kindle Unlimited cost by at least half, pay for a month and when you get to the last day or two of that month return all your read books and make sure you have your full 20 book borrow limit of unread books downloaded on to your Kindle. Turn your Kindle to airplane mode and cancel your subscription. As long as you keep your Kindle in airplane mode the books will stay on your Kindle so you have however long it takes you to read those 20 books before you need to subscribe for another month. Most people will take at least a month to read 20 books cutting your yearly cost by half, if it takes you 2 months to read the 20 books then you would only have to pay for 4 months to get Kindle Unlimited books for a whole year!
I’ve used kindle unlimited for some time now. I work in my van during the day so I either can have Alexa read my book or my iPhone can read it also. I can go through several books in a month this way so it’s worth it to me. I also use hoopla and Libby for the books that may not be available yet for kindle unlimited. I believe that if you borrow a book and it leaves K/U, you still have that in your library to read. I always keep my full 20 checked out and just keep returning and borrowing. I have found several new authors and series through K/U
I'm going back and forth on the cost. I use my library a lot of ebooks but do love the fact you can get so many ebooks on kindle unlimited and some even come with the audiobook as well. I said I'd drop it after the new year but still not sure if I actually will. I need to do the price comparison you did to truly make up my mind I think. Thanks for the video.
The price comparison is definitely fun & helpful! Using the library to save is also key and I love when they have the free audiobook through KU too. I thought I would just try it for a few months too and found myself keeping my subscription so sounds like we’re in the same boat haha. Thanks for watching!
I think I would do this if the cost was about $8 a month. I know $12 doesn’t sound like THAT much more. But that’s $144 a year!!!!!! I know it’s arguably cheaper if you consistently read two or three books a month. But it just feels like a lot. I feel like Libby is the best option for most. Just keep in mind that you have a time limit with those.
The thing is that kindle unlimited have mostly romance and dark romance books, that's nice. But I mostly read thrillers/horror books, and many japanese and korean authors. Many of the books on my tbr are not on KU, so it's not worth it in my case
I am a 45 year white guy that reads mostly horror + suspense + nonfiction. It seems that unlimited is not really intended for those genres, as most are romance and dark fantasy geared towards women. Also, you can simply get titles from an actual library.
Hiii! Love the video!! Unrelated to reading, but do you like your Oura ring? I'm thinking of getting one and wanted to hear others' opinions on it before purchasing! 🪱💜

Me too! Love that! 🫶🫶

That's a really smart way to maximize your reading!! I love Hoopla and Libby too 😻😻 It’s so great to save with library apps! And good pro tips too!

Love your videos and what book are you currently reading
@@angelavanpelt2228 thank you!! I’m reading divine rivals right now!
Thanks for this video!!
I about to get a kindle, but I’m just gonna use Libby.
🪱Great video again! Kara Thomas is a really good mystery/thriller author. There's always a twist that I typically don't see coming.

Another pro tip - kindle unlimited books can be used towards a discount when buying Audible versions.
Ohhhhh, I’ll have to look into that 😮
🪱 Very helpful. Thanks!
I read 10-15 books a month, KU is very worth it for me
I can get quite a few non fiction on KU which I like. 👌
what do you think about the kobos??
@@siskysavesthetrilogy I haven’t tried one but I would love to try one at some point!! Gotta save up haha
🪱love these videos!
I don’t subscribe to kindle KU because I use Libby so my thoughts I can just borrow on Libby at no cost
