I scoped this out since I am inseparable from my Kindle Fire HD and found not all books are available on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited.

All the books on my wish list were unavailable, in fact. So I passed.

Is Kindle Unlimited worth it?

By Hayley Tsukayama July 18

Amazon.com introduced a new subscription service, Kindle Unlimited, on Friday. This $9.99 per month, all-you-can-eat feature gives you full access to a hundreds of thousands of e-books.

Bookworms, wipe your mouths; that drooling is unsightly.

But before you run out and sign up for the free trial, here are some things to consider before you make your decision.

How many books do you read per year?

Kindle Unlimited is $9.99 per month. So you'll be paying Amazon, whose chief executive Jeffrey Bezos owns The Washington Post, around $120 per year for the unfettered e-book access. If you're habitually spending money on more than one book per month, then it's a service to think about. It has its perks for big book buyers -- namely that don't have to worry about spending money on a book you end up hating.

But, chances are, you aren't reading more than one book per month. In January, the Pew Internet and American Life Project asked how many books the typical American had read in the past year.

The answer? Five.

I typically read five books per WEEK. Lately mostly from the library; sometimes those 10-mystery or romance bundles for a few dollars on my Kindle from Amazon.
