One caution about Kindle Unlimited is that too many authors stuff their books. When we had KU, my wife picked up a series by an author whose name she recognized from a few years back. 3 novellas and 1 novel. Sadly, the novellas ran between 450 to 800 pages while the novel barely managed 135 pages (from cover to cover). It seems that most of a poorly edited ( homonyms, grammar, spelling, layout, continuity -- who has trouble remembering the name of the heroine of your own novel for pete's sake?) back list was stuffed into the novellas just to make a bit more money for the author. After the KU subscription expired, we haven't gone back. Life is too short to spent it reading through what amounts to a poorly indexed slush pile.

My personal peeve with KU was that I love books about cooking and recipes. The average KU book in that genre looks like someone copied and pasted 30-50 recipes from the web and called it a book.
