I had Kindle Unlimited for a year and read quite a few books from it. I found several that I liked so much I bought to make sure I had them to read again.
I only dropped them because my To Be Read pile is huge, and there were several series I've purchased I wanted to get to. Those were going to take me a while, so no use paying for KU until I'd burned through those.
I still keep a Wish List for KU books I run across I'd like to read some day, in case I go back to KU. I have about 150 in there now.
For me, if I was just starting out and had no real TBR pile, I'd be staying with KU. I wasn't impressed with the selection on the others at the time I looked, and pretty much gave up on my on-line library because they just didn't have much selection in what I was interested in, nor did they follow up on series very much. So I've hardly ever borrowed a library book, although I do check there before I decide I want to start a new series. If they have it, (which they usually don't) then it saves me from paying for a stinker if I don't like it.
