Kindle Unlimited vs Prime Reading vs Audible – Which Is Better?
Prime Reading is a premium membership service offered by Amazon that is provided along with your subscription to prime which includes free delivery of Amazon orders, Video streaming, and many more.
Just like with Kindle Unlimited, users can borrow books to read which are made available on the Kindle app. However, the titles available to read on the Prime Reading catalog are only 1000+, compared to Kindle Unlimited’s millions.
The books available on Prime Reading change from time to time based on a rotating catalog, and it may not have the books you are looking for all the time.
If you want a dedicated eReader app then Kindle Unlimited is definitely better.
Audible is another service provided by Amazon which is dedicated to users who prefer listening to audiobooks rather than reading. There are subscription offers that allow you to buy audiobooks that you get to keep.
Although Kindle Unlimited allows you to access some audiobooks, you need an audible membership for the full catalog and to keep the books you listen to.
Is Kindle Unlimited Worth It?
Kindle Unlimited is totally worth it if you enjoy discovering great self-published and indie books on Amazon. However, most people are looking for best-sellers from renowned publications which are usually unavailable on Kindle Unlimited.
So if you are looking for those mainstream books then Kindle Unlimited may not be worth it for the price.
Also, the number of books you read per month is another obvious factor why Kindle Unlimited may not be worth it for a lot of people. Most books on Kindle Unlimited are $5 or less, so you will have to read at least 2-3 books to make it worth your money.
