Rather than sending me to the actual catalog, I was presented with a hard-to-navigate “discover” page.Īnd when I found the catalog, I couldn’t figure out how to read the magazine that I’d just borrowed (it wasn’t in my Kindle library).
While you’d think the service would be straightforward, I almost immediately had problems navigating the website. I signed up for a 30-day free trial to find out how Kindle Unlimited works. In other words, Kindle Unlimited seems, well, limited. If, on the other hand, you read popular nonfiction, classics, and literary fiction, you’ll likely find the selection lacking. And popular magazines like People, BBC History, Cosmopolitan, and Popular Mechanics are also free for subscribers (magazines don't count toward a user's 20-book limit). Some current Amazon bestsellers - Lucy Score’s “Things We Never Got Over” and Colleen Hoover’s “Reminders of Him” (notably both romance novels) - also made their way into the catalog. So if you’re looking for “an absolutely addictive psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist,” as one front page title describes itself, then Kindle Unlimited will likely cater to your tastes. Subscribers can borrow up to 20 books at a time from the enormous catalog, which Amazon has expanded significantly since the service's launch.īut despite the catalog's supposed abundance, the platform’s landing page is dominated by mysteries, thrillers, and bodice rippers. As if we all needed another subscription service, Amazon launched Kindle Unlimited in 2014.
