My understanding of Kindle Unlimited is that the books are borrowed not kept, but they are borrowed for the entirety of the length of time you are a subscriber, and you can read as many books as you like on a Kindle (or desktop Kindle, or cloud/app, whatever) (I could be wrong, but I looked into this myself)

I pondered Kindle Unlimited, but I am in Canada, and most of the "good stuff" tends to be USA-centered. Canadians tend to be an afterthought to the US when it comes to selection of media/entertainment. (As a result it took me a while to get into Netflix, but I digress)

I wondered if I would read enough books to make it worth it, and b) do they have enough titles that I am interested even for the "one month free", so I looked at my Kindle wish-list items, the books that I couldn't find at my local Overdrive library, and none of them were listed as KU available. So that sealed the deal for me. I'm also not a voracious reader.

I don't know what the Kindle landscape is like in the UK where you seem to be, so you would have to figure out if you think it would be worth it. It depends how much you read, and whether the titles offered in your area are appealing to you.

I personally just keep a wish list, and I'm notified of price drops.
