The Gift of Kindle Unlimited

Kindle Unlimited allows someone to read as many Kindle ebooks as they want – it’s like an all-you-can-eat literary buffet! It also does include some audio books, but they are not the same level, quality, or selection as the audio books available on Audible. But for reading? This is the holy grail of digital reading. You can give your favorite bookworm the gift of 6 months of unlimited Kindle reading for $29.97, 12 months for $80.30, or a whopping 24 months for $143.80.
