Limited Kindle Unlimited

It has kept up with my borrows from the moment I subscribed, when I cancelled and re-subscribed. It kept all the numbers and books in my account.

Not on my Mac, I'm afraid.

Look at my #111 on page 8.

Try this: https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/hz/my-items. It's only My Subscriptions -> Kindlle Unlimited.

Thanks Terisa,

Your link took me here:

It only shows the 2 I borrowed tonight.

Show: "Returned" instead of "All". ANyway, "All" says in the top the number of current books, but scrolling down you see all (at least I can in my browser, perhaps your browser is trimming it).

So, the third book that appears in the bottom, borrowed on May 30 (or 31, I don't remember) and Returned, according to the page?

It is inconsistent. In the library view (the myk page) when you go to content and "all" it only shows the current borrows, unless you "limit" the view to "returned" and it shows the returned ones with a total number. While the second link shows all when selecting "all", but no total number. It lists 1769 returns since 2014 in my case. That makes KU a good price for the money for my wife and me. We both use the same account to be able to share KU.

It also highly depends on browser, not necessarily which information is shown, but where on the page. Even on same device.

Looking at your 3 images, none are the right spot. I logged in, went to Manage Your Content and Devices under Account and Lists, selected KU and then Returned on the drop down next to that box. See the attached image. Now if someone would explain why All does not include Returned, it would satisfy that intellectual itch.

Terisa and DT,

Definitely a browser issue it appears. Yes the book was returned on 30th.

David, I don't get a Returned option under Content either. Borrows comes up as 0 too.

Hmmm... if you use Kindle Unlimited instead of Books?

See the circled item in both attached images. Or does Amazon.com.au not have a Kindle Unlimited option there? And why does your image in message#235 have a message about your default Kindle store and going to Amazon.com.au while the other ones in #234 don't (well, one of the images in #234 does show amazon.com.au)?

Eureka!

David, you’re a champion. Thanks for taking the time to follow back in the screenshots and explain how to do it.

Since I was looking for a books count, I went straight to Books and just didn’t notice the other KU link below Collections way near the bottom.

(#234 now)

KU titles are not all available in all regions sometimes eg;

This is a KU title in Aus
https://www.amazon.com.au/Complex-PT.../dp/B00HJBMDXK

but is NOT a KU title in the US
https://www.amazon.com/Complex-PTSD-.../dp/B00HJBMDXK

Since I pay my subs and purchases here in Australia, my default store is the .com.au.

Cheers and thanks for the effort.

Interesting. It is not all that many. Well, if they were all done in one month it would still be too many to read. I would say that 1000 looks like a good candidate to trigger the lockout. Unless it is more sophisticated.

I didn’t think so either ….. certainly still far less than “Unlimited” either way.

But I won’t say any more than that ……. except to refer to my earlier posts.

I suspect it is quite a bit more sophisticated than just the number of books. Number of authors, reading pattern, etc. are likely in play as well. I suspect if I had not genre hopped picking at random but for example, picked a couple of authors or a single genre and re-borrowed the books that I could have triggered a lockout at a lot fewer than 1000 books.
