Ok, I've seen this sentiment before, but the amount of Kindle Unlimited ads I've been seeing is forcing me to repeat it-
Kindle Unlimited is offering two free months of unlimited ebooks. As a trial. Which will then become a paid subscription.
Your local library is offering unlimited ebooks all the time. Forever. No contracts, no predatory practices, no tracking of how long you spend on each particular page in the hopes that information about your habits can be sold for a profit.
Use your library. They want so badly to give you all of the things for free.
The Library Is
a Magical Place and You
Should Fucking Go There
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I’ve been getting ebooks from the library (I have three local library systems that I’m entitled to get a card with, and I use all three) for a few years now, and I’m reading more and more widely, and discovering authors I then want to buy new releases from, and who’ve influenced my writing. Library ebook programs are great.
As prev said, find out if you're entitled to a card in more than one library system! I'm entitled to two (the second system only lets me have an e-membership where I can't check out physical stuff, but that's all I want from them anyway, and I didn't have to go in person to sign up). It increases the number of ebooks and audiobooks I can access, which is already pretty good. I believe the Libby app is used by most if not all public libraries in the US, and it works pretty well -- you have the choice to read your ebooks from a phone or tablet, or send it to a Kindle, or download a PDF.
In my area at least they also have free, unlimited access to digital versions of a lot of magazines -- The New Yorker, Nat Geo, Time, and many others, with no wait times or limits or due dates.
Libraries friggin rule.
