Amazon brings Kindle Unlimited e-book subscriptions to the UK – Engadget

Amazon's Kindle Unlimited

Whether we like it or not, Amazon nearly always launches its new products and services in the U.S. first. It Happened With its Fire-branded tablets, set-top box and smart phone. The same can be said for its all-you-can-read e-book service, Kindle Unlimited, Which after two months of availability stateside has today made its debut on the online retailer’s UK store. For £ 7.99 a month, Amazon offers unlimited access to over 650,000 digital books (50,000 less than in the U.S.) and Thousands of audiobooks, Which Can Be synced across e-readers, tablets and Amazon’s Numerous mobile apps. While You will not find books from many of the major publishing houses, Amazon does sacrifice the Harry Potter and The Hunger Games series, as well as a vast number of Kindle originals. Good news for jetsetters, commuters and maybe overpriced Kindle owners waiting for the Kindle Unlimited to Launch in Other European Countries, but some alreadycreated believe Amazon’s new service poses a very real threat to local libraries.
