Forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference, in terms of books and price, between Amazon Prime and Kindle Unlimited?

I've done several trials of Amazon Prime and the main advantage I noticed was the speedy delivery and no postage fees when I bought from Amazon, rather than the sellers. I didn't bother with watching any videos - there are plenty on the bbc iplayer and youtube. I'm not sure how much this would cost per month and if it would be worth it, (I have no choice about paying the tv license!)

I imagine that Kindle Unlimited is limited to just kindle books, and not many of them either. What does it cost, and do you consider it to be worth it?

I couldn't find a link on the Amazon site which offered information, just ones which appeared to be 'join up' ones, so I came here for help.

Thanks.
