While browsing Instagram a few minutes ago I came across an offer of 6 months kindle unlimited books for £23.00 instead of around £48.00. It was a bargain so I snapped it up :laugh:
I took advantage of a free three months trial a couple of years ago. I'd originally thought that it gave me access to any book in the Kindle store but soon realised that although you get access to more books than you get with " Prime Reading " it is still just a subset of books that are available and a lot of titles that I wanted to read weren't available.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

This isn't free, just half price so I assume i will have access to all the kindle books

It was a free ( to me, as an inducement to take out a subscription ) three month trial of Kindle Unlimited, after the three months I would be paying the full price. Kindle Unlimited unfortunately doesn't give you access to all Kindle books.
I've since purchased a KoBo E reader and download books from the Local library which is part of the " Libraries West " group covering lending libraries all over the west of England. There's quite a choice. I usually browse the library catalogue and then check the Kindle reviews of any book that looks interesting to see if It is worth downloading. I read " Magic Spanner " by Carlton Kirby a few weeks ago, a very entertaining read. It would have cost me £5 for the Kindle edition but cost nothing for me to download from the library.

I am an old fashioned git. I prefer a real paper book in my hands.
I read both, I love the feel of a paper book, but sometimes struggle with the smaller typefaces. That is where the E readers are beneficial as you can change the font soze and line spacing to suit your eyes.

I usually download the free books on kindle but this deal was too good to carry on being a cheapskate:laugh:
