Prime reading vs kindle unlimited
Is PR actually a sort of best of KU?. It claims to be carefully curated by...
If that can be trusted not to mean bribed to include.. then in some ways I am more attracted to a 1000 book collection than a 1million one.
I lack the time and the life expectancy to need 1m choices, and lack the patience to sort through them. I already pay for prime annually ,for the shopping and video perks.
A skim through what is in PR suggests that every book is from KU.
The only other difference, I think, is that PR may not work with kindle for pc, but that is no great loss. KU still does, I think, I.e. I have not seen any announcements to say otherwise
PR also includes some magazines. In theory they would look ok on my fire hdx, in practice I suspect they are so ad infested I will just get annoyed with the magazine layout approach and go back to my flipboard app instead.
Anyone here using either or both services and care to comment.
I am in UK, the PR choices may be better or different in other countries ?
Ps re the carefully curated... I take my free "kindle first" book each month from the carefully selected offer list as part of prime but looking back at those carefully selected offers, I see a trail of abandoned, did not like it... clutter in my kindle library. At least with PR I get to send it back and not have it in my collection. Yes I could go delete it from cloud but that feels like an electronic book burning...
