Generally it's the same. I just have to read them and return them before I can read others, and can't hoard them anymore. :/
Oh, you get a bit more than that if you have Prime.
You get one (of six preselected books) a month, to keep.
Those you can hoard.
And the books that are promotionally free or perma-free you can still hoard.
There's still plenty to be found on a given day.

You just go to the Kindle ebook home page:
https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-eBooks...node=154606011

And,on the left side, select your prefered genre. Say, Science fiction.
Then, on the upper right side you sort "price low to high":
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st_p...price-asc-rank

You'll see a ton of free books.
Look carefully and some will be flagged "Kindle Unlimited" and some will be flagged Kindle Edition/BUY NOW WITH 1-CLICK.

Most of the ones flagged Kindle Edition should be hoardable. No 10-book queue limit.

Amazon hasn't taken anything away.
They *have* added a subscription service that allows publishers to be paid for books you read for free so, yes, there are going to be less permanently-free books than there were before KU but they still allow KDP ebooks to be offered for free five days a month, like always. And if a book is free at another ebookstore it will also be free at Amazon.

So there should be no shortage of free books to hoard.
The main change is you have to read the tags to tell the hoardable books from the KU books.

Now go fill up that reader.
