4 Sweet Bookworm Benefits of Kindle Unlimited

~ Alexandria D.

Do you prefer eBooks or print? Both formats have their pros and cons.

I prefer print. I love the feel of holding a book, and I don’t mind taking it everywhere I go.

However, the problems with printed books are plenty. Some books you want are only available as eBooks. Sometimes, you’re too impatient to wait for an ordered book and too lazy to go to the library. The library may not have the book you want!

I’ve encountered a similar scenario when was looking for Colette Gale’s Entwined. I read Gale’s previous works, and I was ready for a hot new story. The problem: Entwined was only released as an eBook. My stubborn self decided to wait until the printed copy was released.

Eventually, I was introduced back to eBooks through the Lean Stone Book Club. Every week, the club offers two books to their members. I thought the company offered free printed books. Nope, they were eBooks, and I had to retrieve them through Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited.

I admit I didn’t like using Kindle Unlimited to read. I don’t like staring at a screen for long unless I’m reading blog articles or working on writing projects.

EBooks Aren’t So Bad…

Kindle Unlimited changed my mind about eBooks. Here are 4 sweet bookworm benefits of Kindle Unlimited:

1-You’ll have access to thousands of free e-books for a small monthly fee.

 Kindle Unlimited has countless eBooks ranging from cooking to self-help. As an American Amazon user, members only have to pay $9.99 a month. Prices vary for international users. Kindle Unlimited membership is available for those in the following locations:

  • Australia
  • Brazil
  • Canada
  • France
  • Germany
  • India
  • Italy
  • Japan
  • Mexico
  • Spain
  • United Kingdom

2-You’ll have your own library.

 You can keep up to ten eBooks at a time in your Kindle library. You can return an eBook with a simple click of a button and get a new one.

3. It’s a quick pick up for any educational read.

A few months ago, I’ve been watching eCommerce videos about Amazon FBA and Shopify. Of course, my local libraries didn’t have any books on the topics. I didn’t want to buy the books either. Luckily, I found plenty of books available on Kindle Unlimited. The list of titles was endless!

If there’s an interesting subject you would like to explore, check Kindle Unlimited first for free titles.

4. You can highlight and bookmark your eBook pages.

I’m an avid highlight user. Once you upload the Kindle Cloud Reader app, you can highlight any book passages. You can also check all of the passages you’ve marked.

If there’s a page where you have to stop, you can place a bookmark on the spot and come back later.
