Here are the latest news about Kindle Unlimited:
25.11.24. Kindle Unlimited added new Discover tool
Amazon Bookstore is not good at recommending interesting books. So the company has recently unveiled a new Discover tab on Kindle Unlimited service. It lists a bunch of bestsellers that you might want to download. On the main Discover page are two abs: Genre and More. Genre lists the main categories that someone might want to explore, such as mystery, romance, memoir, fantasy and science fiction. Once you select a genre, it will display several popular books, but you can also further refine your search by choosing a sub-genre. This will only show books you would enjoy in various categories. Clicking on More will allow you to filter books by starred ratings, so if you click on five stars, it will only display books where most users have rated a particular book very highly. You can also sort by popularity, which is selected by default, but sorting alphabetically is also an option.
2019. DC Comics now available on Prime Reading and Kindle Unlimited
Amazon has just finalized an agreement with DC Comics, making select titles now accessible on Comixology Unlimited, Kindle Unlimited and Prime Reading. Broadening access to these three platforms makes it simpler than ever for Amazon customers to enjoy DC’s Super Heroes. With the inclusion of thousands of select DC single issues, collections and graphic novels – including exclusive fan-favorites from the DC Vertigo imprint – comiXology Unlimited continues to be available for $5.99 a month, featuring a 30-day free trial for new users. Kindle Unlimited subscribers will also have access to a variety of single issues, collections and graphic novels, while Prime Reading members will be able to enjoy a curated and rotating list of acclaimed DC and DC Vertigo graphic novels at no extra cost. This expansion across the three services offers ideal entry points for newcomers to DC and DC Vertigo.
2018. Amazon discounts Kindle Unlimited to compete against Scribd
Amazon is running a campaign where they are giving two months of access to Kindle Unlimited for 99 cents and it will automatically charge you $9.99 at the end of the promotion. Amazon has stated they are doing this because of World Book Day, but they are really trying to drive subscribers away from Scribd. Scribd provides unlimited ebook subscription service for $8.99 per month and readers have audiobooks and ebooks from all of the major publishers. Over the years Amazon did not have the support from major publishers, aside from a few specific titles. Most of their content stems from their Kindle Direct Publishing platform, so the overall quality of their ebook library suffers. The only way they can compete against Scribd is by offering tremendous discounts for people who don’t know any better.
