In the last few months I’ve read:
- Project Hail Mary, Weir
- Fall, Stephenson
- The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Gaiman
- The Ultimate Earth, Williamson
- The first four Discworld books, Pratchett
- Seven Views of Olduvai Gorge, Resnick
- A Memory Called Empire, Martine
- A Desolation Called Peace, Martine
- The first five Murderbot Diaries books, Wells
- The Imperial Radch trilogy, Leckie
- Annihilation, Vandermeer
- The Kingston Cycle trilogy, Polk
For comparison, I think I read two or three books last year. It’s starting to be a non-trivial amount of money, even though they’ve all been the ebook versions, which are generally a little cheaper. Has anyone who reads a lot of SF found Kindle Unlimited to be worth the price?
I tried KU for a month or two but I couldn’t find enough good books to read to justify the cost. Instead I just got a digital library subscription and read on my phone/tablet.
I guess I could just do the free trial and answer my own question. How much is the monthly fee, by the way?
The kindle fee is 13.99 aud/month for me which is pricy by my standards. The library however is totally free but it doesn’t have every book I want. So it’s either wait for a physical copy at the library, just buy it outright, or take it off the reading list.
Hmmm okay. So the KU would be fine if I read at least two books a month. I’ve been doing closer to four, but they haven’t all had a KU option, especially the latter books of a series.
I guess I can try the free trial and see.
For sure, good luck!
