Good afternoon!
Today's post will be all about my experience with Kindle Unlimited and Audible.
Two months ago, I decided to take a chance on Kindle Unlimited. It's an Amazon subscription that's $9.99 a month. It gives you access to a lot of books enrolled in the KU program. (I will make a separate post about my favorite books in the program and my TBR.) I have read mixed reviews about this program. Since I've never really been a fan of e-books until recently, the program never really appealed to me. However, I have been reading more e-books lately so I decided to try it out.
My overall opinion of the program is great. I love having access to a lot of books that were already on my TBR. However, you are limited to ten books at a time, after which you have to return one to get another. Not a big deal at all for me. The first month, which was my trial run, I read 9 books. I loved all but one of them. Because of that, I decided to continue on with the subscription.
I think you need to read 3 or more, given the price of e-books and the price of the subscription, to make it worth it. Obviously, since I read 9, It was worth it for me.
Shortly after I joined KU, I figured out that they have a deal with Audible where if you have KU you can join Audibles romance package for $6.95/month, with the first month free. Given the price of audiobooks, which range from $14-$27, $6.95 a month is well worth it, even if you just listen to one. Similarly to KU, you are limited to about 8 books I think before you have to return one to get another. Again, not a big deal at all for me. Since joining, I have listened to 10 books.
Overall, I definitely think KU and the Audible Romance Package is well worth $17 a month. These programs have greatly increased the number of books I read in a month. I will be continuing with both programs until I run out of material to read/listen to.
I hope this post helped those of you who are teeter-tottering between joining KU and Audible. I definitely believe that it is an investment well worth it and you'll thank yourself for it.
