AND Connect WiFi or Mobile. Side loading an reading the entire book if you never turn on WiFi, means the author/publisher isn't paid.
So if you care about books, do not ever use Kindle Unlimited. It's an invasion of privacy, cheats authors/publishers and locks consumers to the Amazon store.
We, and our friends, do not use KDP Select. KDP Select forbids any other retailer selling it and makes books available via KU etc. We use ordinary KDP. Amazon wants to be the sole publiser and retailer.
