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!

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.

I love my Kindle Unlimited. I love “shopping” for my books. I enjoy the whole experience. Between KU and Libby, I have read every single bestseller and new release I have wanted. Sorry if people are having problems not being able to download their books anymore, but that’s not a problem for me since I have not actually bought a book in over 10 years. I read approximately 75 books per year, so the KU monthly fee is good for me.

I’ve finally got a kindle for the first time and your videos have been sooo helpful. Great video and loved the kindle settings one ❤ Thanks!

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 read 10-15 books a month, KU is very worth it for me

Love my kindle and kindle unlimited. I use my audible earned credit for new releases.

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.

I’m kind of undecided because I really enjoy holding and smelling and the tactile experience of books! 📚 not sure I’d enjoy reading on a kindle? But then I love the convenience when you travel and reading on the beach 🏖️

[FlagPole]

In addition to the airplane tip below (that I do use). I find lots of KU titles and save them to a list. Then when I sign up I am ready to download and start reading without having to find what to read.

[Hurikine]

Another pro tip - kindle unlimited books can be used towards a discount when buying Audible versions.

[BobKrueger-jy]

I read usually 5-10 books a month, feel like I'm supporting Kindle on my own. how do I stop my subscription of unlimited after several months, if this isn't working for me. thank you in advance.

[jodywall]

Thank you for doing this video! Super helpful 🪱

[Galene]

This is soo helpful since I’m getting one for Christmas!

[masalladeloordinario]

Do you get to keep all the e book you buy on kindle?

[mrbqkc]

🪱🪱🪱 anybody else already a huge fan of KU just watching for fun? 😅

[sharonhill]

I’ve had a paperwhite kindle for years now and have just subscribed to KU. They had a deal on during Black Friday sale 3 months for 99c (Australia) I decided to take up the . I’m loving it so far as I do read a lot and since moving house my local library isn’t as good as the one I use to although I still use it from time to time. After the 3 months it will be $13.99 a month and I’m pretty sure I will keep it going 😊

[JustinTopher]

Readers paradise unlocked! Is it worth it? 📚🔥

[JM-pmyb]

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 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.
