Amazon launches Kindle Unlimited in the UK

Thursday, 25 September 2014 Books+Publishing

Two months after Amazon launched its ebook subscription service Kindle Unlimited in the US, the service has arrived in the UK. According to the Bookseller, none of the UK’s major publishers is believed to have signed up directly to Kindle Unlimited. However, titles from all the independents in the Independent Alliance are available, as are titles from Bloomsbury and the Harry Potter series from Pottermore. Customers will be charged £7.99 (A$15) a month for access to over 650,000 Kindle books and ‘thousands’ of Audible audiobooks. Amazon is currently offering a 30-day free trial of the service.
