I like it. I don't know what to comment about though. It's just something you subscribe to, and then you pick out books like you normally would, except now there's a "Read for Free" button.
On the Paperwhite 2, there's a new section in the store, along with a link to a page with everything you have out with a button to return stuff.
It's pretty much transparent. You click the book, and then it appears in your library in whatever Kindle device/app you're using, and the audiobook magically appears in Audible. When you return it, they both disappear.
My biggest problem with the Lending Library is that I have to do that whole process on my Kindle. Even though those can only be read on Amazon devices, I still like the browsing experience on a desktop better, and I can stick my "Want to Read" in my Reading List in Safari (which is what I'm taking advantage of with Unlimited).
My only quirk with KU this far is that some books don't come with the audiobooks. But that could be a publisher problem since sometimes it's two parties behind them. They are giving us 3 free months of Audible though, and the discounts apply to whatever you have rented out too.
I think it's worth it, as long as you actually make use of it.

Let me ask a few questions about the program:
The selection, does it have an adequate selection of various different types of books?
The pages which run the program: Can you navigate the Kindle Unlimited library easily enough to the books that you want?
The return icon, does it prompt you to return the books or do you have to recall from memory what you have out?
Does it break down the library into catagories and sub-catagories far enough? The regular amazon pages break down the books into catagories and sub-catagories fairly well so I would imagine that the Kindle Unlimited would do this adquately as well.
Is the sign up process easily navigated? Or is it too long?
Have you been able to find something in the program library easily enough?
Have you been able to identify several books you want to read?
