What Kindle Unlimited – The Post

Amazon

Friday, July 18, the company known e-commerce and digital services, has launched a new service for the price of a monthly subscription will allow you to download free ebooks and audiobooks from a catalog of more than 600 thousand different titles. The service is called Unlimited Kindle and costs $ 9.99 per month (about seven Euros). For now it is only available in the United States. Among the books available there are some best sellers such as the Harry Potter series, the Lord of the Rings and The Hunger Games. But there are also books of “niche”, such as “King Leopold’s Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa,” a book on the domain Belgian Congo in the late nineteenth century.

For the moment it seems that the securities are provided in languages ​​other than English. In the service contract, Amazon does not guarantee a minimum number of titles available in the catalog of Kindle Unlimited and reserves the right to add or remove books from the catalog to his liking (here you can find all the titles currently available). The service seems still in evidence and, as they wrote some users on Reddit, there are problems in particular on audio books (some seem to be available from the catalog Unlimited, while it seems to be bought separately).

The new Amazon service is not new on the market platforms such as Scribd, Oyster and Bookmate already offer a similar service at lower prices, but for the moment seems to offer a Kindle Unlimited catalog wider and a higher number of best sellers.
