The email I received about this is inaccurate. It says it's going to renew on May 11, 2023, but my current (24 month) renewal does not expire until 17 Apr 2024.
In the past I have taken advantage of KU deals that happen around Prime Day, Black Friday etc. to extend my subscription, hopefully an opportunity to do that will appear before I get bumped up to $11.99. I don't think I've paid anything close to even $9.99/mo.
I do use it a lot, often just for short term rentals where I just read a few chapters about something and not entire books.
It's especially good for public domain 'classics' ("Amazon Classics"): formatting is consistent and they all include audiobook companion. There are several hundred of these. Otherwise you have to find something among dozens of editions of, say, Crime & Punishment of dubious quality.
