Amazon really messed up by raising the price. Subscribing for two years used to be the best value. Now when you sign up for two years it’s only $10.99 a month instead of $11.99. I still read enough from KU to still make it valuable for me. And I’m in a better financial position so I can afford the hike. I don’t read KU books exclusively. I usually read them in between my library loans unless I’m binging a series.
