You pay a monthly subscription fee for access to the full Kindle Unlimited library where you can read and enjoy as many Kindle books as you want. That’s exactly why it’s called “Unlimited.”

Kindle Unlimited Explained

Just like you don’t own movies you watch on Netflix or songs you listen to on Spotify, you don’t own any books you read through Kindle Unlimited. You’re essentially borrowing them until you’re finished reading them and decide to remove them from your account—or until you decide to end your Kindle Unlimited subscription.

How Does Kindle Unlimited Work?

Kindle Unlimited works in a similar way to purchasing regular Kindle books. When you want to read a Kindle Unlimited book, you add it to your account and deliver it to your devices with just one click. The only real difference is that you’re not charged for the individual price of the book.

How Much Does Kindle Unlimited Cost?

How Do I Sign Up for Kindle Unlimited?

Follow these instructions to sign up for your 30-day free trial and start reading your first title.

How Do I Cancel My Kindle Unlimited Subscription?

If you decide that you want to end your Kindle Unlimited subscription either before or after the free trial, you can do that on the same Your Kindle Unlimited page that lists your borrowed books. Just select the Cancel Kindle Unlimited Membership button.

In the app, type “Kindle Unlimited” in the search bar. At the top of the page, is a clickable link to sign up for Kindle Unlimited and start your free trial or sign up for a subscription.

If you’re not already signed in, hover your cursor over Hello, Sign in in the top right corner to enter your login details and sign in to your account.

Enter Kindle Store in the search field and Return.

Select Kindle Store Kindle Unlimited in the search results.

Select Learn More under Kindle Unlimited at the top of the screen.

Select the 30-Day Free Trial option. During special promotions, the free trial may be for 3 months. Whichever one you see, the price should show as $0.00.

After you successfully sign up, you are taken to a page with suggested Kindle Unlimited titles to start reading. You can browse through these or see the full Kindle Unlimited library by typing “Kindle Unlimited books” in the search field or by selecting Kindle Store in the Department section of the sidebar.

To see all of your Kindle Unlimited titles, hover your cursor over Your Account & Lists at the top of the screen and select Your Kindle Unlimited in the drop-down menu.

Scroll down on the Your Kindle Unlimited page to the Your Borrowed Items section to see a list of up to 10 books you’ve borrowed. Select Read Now next to a book to read it on any of your compatible devices or select Return to make space for a new item.

Even though you can enjoy an unlimited number of titles through Kindle Unlimited, you can only keep up to 10 titles in your account at a time. If you already have 10 in your account and want to add more, you’ll have to delete at least one title to make room.
