Read all you can with Kindle Unlimited

Amazon has officially confirmed rumours that they were introducing a new ebook service that will let you read as much as you want for a monthly fee. The Kindle Unlimited costs US$10 a month and gives you access to 600,000 books and 8,000 audio books as well. Popular titles like Lord of the Rings, Hunger Games, and Harry Potter are available but a lot of the major publishers aren’t fully represented. And we’re not sure how the current struggles with the publishing world would affect this venture.

The Kindle Unlimited comes with a free 30-day trial to make you want to sign up plus a three-month subscription to Audible. However, it is currently just available in the U.S. and there have been no announcements yet when this would make its way to other countries.
