I've switched my account from Amazon UK to Amazon US to try it out with the 30 day trial. Most authors that I follow don't have their books included, so it's not much good going on there in the hope of finding anything specific, but I've been able to find 10 or so books that interest me fairly quickly from browsing the different categories.
The real question for me is whether it can consistently surface new and interesting content. While I don't mind spending an hour or two exploring Kindle Unlimited as a new service, I generally read books that I'm looking for specifically, rather than going on the store to look for something new.
Unless it can become very efficient at recommending books to me (better than the existing "you may like" algorithms) or expand it's range so that enough books that I'm specifically looking for are included, I think I would quickly find looking for the gems on Unlimited a bit too much like hard work.
But overall I think it's an interesting development with lots of potential, and I hope it makes it over to the UK before long.
