When you click on the kindle unlimited towards the left in the menu, you just need to scroll down a bit to get to magazines.

here is the page, they change each month.

Prime membership also comes with some free magazines. I don’t know if they are the same ones as KU.

It's my understanding that the prime offer is a much smaller subset of the KU library. I would imagine anything in prime is in KU. But not the other way around!

Prime has a much smaller library. I think its around a 1,000 books where KU is a million?

KU does not have my favorite authors sadly but one. Quite a few Arthur C Clarke so I am reading Hammer of God. Quite a few mags I like too. Not sure how long I will keep the subscription.

I was just pointing out that there are some magazines available as Prime member. I know KU has more of everything, I’m a subscriber myself. But there are more Prime members than KU subscribers out there.

I dislike prime. I do not order from Amazon. Their delivery drivers dump my packages outside 3 blocks down the street and I live in the city. Homeless people steal your packages. They are a joke. Every package I order from amazon I never get delivered because of this

The secret to be happy with KU is to change what you are looking for. Search what is available in KU and not what is in your current wishlist or favorite author. And then it is a matter if you can find enough to keep you happy for the price of the subscription. If you can share KU in your household, then it will be even cheaper.

For me alone it wouldn't work out, but as much as my wife reads our KU subscription pays for itself.

Well said! It's like a favorite fishing hole. You won't catch dinner every time you go there, but you will catch dinner often enough that it's worth visiting.

lmao. I do not know if I will keep it. i have so many purchased books I have not read yet. How often do they refresh the book offers?

It seems to me that once a book goes on KU, it tends to stay on KU. Some authors put everything they write on KU (I guess they are doing OK), while others put SOME books on KU, and others for purchase. Naturally, some books disappear from KU, but there is no periodic refresh. It operates kind of like a paid library.

Rather than borrow an interesting book I know I won't read quickly, I just put it in my Amazon wish list, and then when I'm looking for something to read, I go to that list. That way I know those books piqued my interest at least at one time!
