It is only the rental of physical text books that is being axed, as I understand it. The digital rentals are continuing.
It sounds as if some newspapers and magazines might still be available through Kindle Unlimited. But I love that at the moment I can buy e.g. a French newspaper and read it instantly and I will greatly miss being able to have these subscriptions.
I feel the Kindle Scribe's marketing could almost be construed as bait and switch.
