Is there any way that KU titles can be read on a non-Kindle device or app?

Thanks.

IIRC: You can read them on the Kindle for device app.
I just looked here you go.
You can read Kindle Unlimited titles on any Amazon device or Kindle reading app. You can browse for Kindle Unlimited titles on Amazon devices, Kindle for Android, and Kindle for Samsung. For other devices, please use your browser to visit the Kindle store to access the Kindle Unlimited catalog.

Yes, thank you. If you don't have a Kindle device or Kindle app, then using KU is not possible?

Correct.

If you don't have an eInk Kindle, Fire tablet, Android App, iOS App or Kindle for PC or Mac then you're not going to be able to use KU.

The chances are pretty good that whatever device you are using to post here is capable of running a Kindle app.

That would be a kindle reading app.
Free 30 day trial. So I say try it.

Also, try the Kindle Cloud reader.
Works with the XBOX ONE just fine.
It'll probably work with most any browser.

KU titles work fine with Kindle for PC. I just tested a couple I have checked out to make sure. So if that is all you got, you are good to go.

Even if it was possible to read KU titles on non-Amazon apps or devices the result would be that the author did not get paid. KU pays authors on the basis of pages read, which are only tracked by Amazon apps/devices. Unlike other models, the loss in KU is borne solely by the author. Use an Amazon app or device. You can read on your PC/Mac or most devices with a web browser with no outlay. Basic Kindles are very cheap and good value, and often on sale, though I truly think the best value is the Paperwhite. Used Kindles can often be bought dirt cheap. Kindle Fire tablets are also cheap and excellent value. If you want e-ink but don't want a Kindle the Amazon app will run on most e-ink Android tablets.

The best no hassle way to read KU books is on an eink kindle, IMO. I use a Voyage, but any will do. From what I've read, eink android tablets might be a hassle to use for KU books.
