How much is Kindle Unlimited in the UK, and is it worth it?
Kindle Unlimited costs £9.49 a month in the UK, after a 30-day free trial for new members. Prime does not include it: Prime members get Prime Reading, and Kindle Unlimited is £9.49 a month on top. For that you get millions of Kindle eBooks plus thousands of audiobooks, comics and magazines, up to 20 titles at a time. It is worth it if you read more than one eBook a month, and you do not need a Kindle: the free Kindle app works on any phone, tablet or computer.
