Amazon Prime reading vs Kindle Unlimited?

What's the difference between Kindle Unlimited and Prime Reading? This is the only question book readers asked me last week. Here is the answer to this burning question.

Let's first understand the basics. Remember that there are three specialized reading services. Prime reading, Kindle Unlimited, and Kindle Owners' Lending Library. Prime reading comes free with Prime membership on Amazon while Kindle Unlimited is a separate book reading service that users need to enable separately. Also, keep in mind that Prime reading and Kindle Unlimited both are accessible on Android and iPhones. On the other hand, for Kindle Owners' Lending Library, users need to own a Kindle device as it is a specialized service made for intense book readers.

These are the main differences between Kindle Unlimited and Prime Reading

Prime Reading:

• Prime reading allows access to up to 1000 free ebooks
• It is free for Amazon Prime members.
• Vey less free Audio books are available.

 Kindle Unlimited: 

• Kindle unlimited enables users to have access to more than 1.4 million books.
• This service is not free. Subscriber need to pay $9.99 per month.
• Offers many free audio books (more than prime reading).

If you have already signed up for Amazon Prime Membership then you are just a one step away from more than one thousand free books. All you need is just to download the Kindle app on your device and then login to your Kindle account using your Amazon id and password. The next screen will lead you to a large number of free e-books. However, one important point to keep in mind is the fact that all the titles and books are not available for free. To get more free books, I recommend you to sign up for Kindle Unlimited service.
