Kindle Unlimited - How fast books put in
Has Amazon ever said at what rate books are put into the Kindle Unlimited program? I'm curious.

Do you mean how many books are added to the program per day? Or how long it takes for a newly published book to be added to the program?

How would a bunch of Amazon customers know? Amazon typically does not release statistics of that nature.

Have you asked Amazon? They are the only ones who can tell you.

On my paperwhite, I can go to the Kindle Store 'Kindle Unlimited' section and it says 906,167 titles at the moment. On Amazon.com, it says there have been 43,797 titles added in the last 30 days, 118,329 in the last 90 days. So the numbers are there if you look for them. Of course it doesn't tell you how many books are leaving KU at any given point, just the net change.

Thanks for that!

The CW is that 5000 titles are added to the Kindle store every day. I suspect the majority or perhaps vast majority of these are KDP (independent) publications from would-be authors, and the majority or vast majority of them enroll their books in KDP Select, meaning they are available in Kindle Unlimited. So my WAG would have been 2500 a day, though the above indication of 1400-1500 is probably closer to the mark.

Very few mainstream publishers play with KU, Houghton Mifflin being the major exception. I tried the free month for September 2014, but even H-M's backlist wasn't enticing enough for me to actually pay for the service, so I canceled when I got home. (I was on vacation in Greece, no internet. I did get through three of the books.)

And the vast majority of those KDP (self-published) titles are rubbish. There is a reason those "indies" didn't get picked up by an agent and a publisher, and there is a reason why publishers have large stables of editors and proofreaders.

(I say that, who am a KDP author-publisher.)
