Kindle Unlimited and the only Amazon numbers we know for sure.

JaneEbooksAmazon / Kindle Unlimited / subscriptions39 Comments

Amazon is notoriously opaque. It does not reveal the number of devices sold or books sold or movies downloaded. It’s hard to measure the success of any one program and the algorithms it uses to construct its bestseller lists are a closely guarded secret. There are those who guess but ... more >

REVIEW of the eBook Subscription Services

JaneEbookssubscriptions33 Comments

With the launch of Kindle Unlimited, we thought it was time to do a comparison and give our opinion as to which one is worth your $9 or $10 per month. We began talking about subscriptions back in 2009 and I followed that up in 2011. It’s amusing to look ... more >
