She insisted they were legit books, and that she could read a few hundred books each month. The number she gave was outrageous, 300-400 per month, IIRC.

Anyway, here is the relevant snippet from the TOS for KU:

Restrictions

We reserve the right to accept or refuse membership in our discretion. You may not transfer or assign your membership or any Kindle Unlimited benefits. We may take reasonable actions necessary to prevent fraud, including placing restrictions on the number of titles that can be accessed from the program at any one time.


In all my years on the forums, she was the only person who ever came around posting about Amazon curtailing the number of books that could be borrowed each month.
Fraud?? ........ Oh, please, please, please allege "Fraud"! ...... see my reply re having my account and credit card, ID, "Showing 201 - 229 of 229 items in Books--All" etc already purchased and on file, for nearly a decade of Amazon membership.

...... I'll see their Fraud ...... and raise them, False Advertising!
