I swear I’m usually tech savvy but is there a way to see the list of books that are part of Kindle Unlimited or do you just need to search book titles to see?
Also, does anyone have any experience with this? Is it worth the 9.99/month? I do read a lot but when I looked into this last year only a few books on my list were under that and I at that time I couldn’t figure out how to browse titles that were part of it.
TIA

jedi, I signed up for the free trial at one point and then cancelled. I read a ton but i did not find that it was worth it. I was always really underwhelmed with their selection. I am in the Kindle first book club and I try to get one free book a month from the Kindle owner's lending library. So I get my two free books from them that way, and then get the rest from my library ebook selection.

Sometimes I would get lucky that a book I wanted to read was on there, but I too mostly do library

You can go to the Kindle Unlimited page on Amazon to browse through all the books, by category. You can also do it directly on your Kindle. I use it because I read a lot, but it can be touch and go. Sometimes I find a bunch of random things that look interesting, and sometimes there's nothing that looks good. The inventory updates so I might go a month or two without really using it and then go in and see new books they've added.

I hoped I'd come across a well-furnished niche genre but I felt they never had much of the hot new books. Also the writing in a lot of the kindle unlimited selection was just...horrid.

My local library has a ton if ebooks that I can borrow and download to my kindle. And a lot of new releases. It's super easy to do it this way and I love being able to borrow books from home, and if a book isn't available I'll put a hold on it and they email me when it is. Maybe yours has something similar (ours is called overdrive).

Maybe yours has something similar (ours is called overdrive). They do. They have overdrive and cloud library. And I find some but there’s several books on my list that aren’t available in ebook and they aren’t available in hard copy. My library is also connected to about 10 other libraries who also don’t have them. Which is weird because I’m not in a rural area. I found 2 by accident when looking around amazon for their cost that were part of amazon unlimited and when I clicked on the info button to learn more about amazon unlimited there were several more I recognized that were on my list that I couldn’t find at my library. Do I signed up. Trying the trial and then I’ll decide
