If you are into books, you surely might have heard about Kindle.

And now that you are here means that you are looking to purchase kindle unlimited. And you want a review and honest personal opinion regarding if purchasing kindle unlimited is worth it or not.

Worry not!

This is our story:

We subscribed to Kindle Unlimited this year. Before kindle, we used to read books on Anybooks platform. But as the experience on the platform degraded, we decided to switch to a different platform. We had heard about kindle unlimited from our booksta friends, so we wanted to check it out. We subscribed to a free plan and indeed we enjoyed it a lot. So, we then decided to subscribe to just a one-month plan. Thought we would run out of reading books we enjoyed by the end of one month. But that never happened. And Now, after subscribing to a one-month plan for 3 months consecutively, we have decided to switch to the yearly plan. (HAHA!! Don’t judge!!!).

And we know many of you are in a situation like us, thinking if it is really worth or not subscribing to Kindle Unlimited. Is it worth spending $9.99 on it or not? Which plans are available, and which is going to work best for me? And many other questions…

Don’t worry, we will answer all your questions today.

So, let’s start it.

Conclusion

#15 Is Kindle Unlimited worth it?

---

Isn’t this the million-dollar question? (Haha 😉)

Kindle Unlimited has over one million books. But, more than half of them are self-published or belong to small publishing houses. Big and popular publishing houses like Penguin and Simon and Schuster do not want to collaborate with Kindle Unlimited. And as a result, many popular books like Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien, The Shining by Stephen King, and other popular books are not available to readers. Though, Harry Potter and Hunger Games have been recently added to Kindle Unlimited.

Another point to be worth noting down is: Kindle Unlimited has a wide collection of books for young adults. But, if you are want to read books from the non-fiction genre, there are limited options.

Wait, don’t rush to a conclusion!

Though there are not many popular and famous books, it doesn’t mean it is all bad. I have found many good books this quarantine for reading. You just need to know what you want and do a bit of searching.

While purchasing Kindle Unlimited, do keep in mind the points mentioned above.

So now go ahead and Take a Free trial and decide for yourself if subscribing to kindle unlimited worth or not.
