And of course, you can always read on your Kindle. With Kindle Unlimited, you can take every word, every sentence, every story, everywhere you go.

I hope this helps you all understand the difference between the two.

Personally I don't have either one and I would not benefit from the Unlimited because I don't do audible books and I am a slow reader sometimes.

In the future I would like to try Prime especially since shipping costs are always increasing.

Please comment below with your thoughts or if I have missed anything!!

Thanks for following bookhooking!

Love you much,

  1. I have Amazon Prime and I absolutely love it. The New $9.99 a month would not work for me--I sometimes wait to read a book and want to own it. The shipping alone for the family is worth it--my sons' textbooks for college, any equipment they buy. Also, they do not group shipments for books based on release dates as B &N does, their customer service is over and above. I went from NOOK to Kindle and never looked back.

  2. I have had a Prime membership for about 2 years now and even with the increase in price last year the shipping has paid itself off and made it worth it. The monthly Prime library loans are a nice perk also, though not every Kindle book is part of the library. (I would say 30-40% of the books you read and review are in the library, though titles change often.) I have a Kindle but also use thr reading app on my MacBook, iPhone and other computers when my Kindle is charging, but I don't think Kindle Unlimited is worth it (for me at least). I think the price doesn't fit the benefits, especially when the main difference is audio books which I don't listen to often and the lack of free shipping.

    I would say for the money, Prime is the best way to go and if you are a Student, you can register for Prime at a discounted rate. Hope that helps!

  3. I have prime membership and it has paid for itself many times over. I love to read and I did not see any benefit to purchasing Kindle fire unlimited.
