Amazon Launches Netflix-Like Kindle Service For $9.99
(RTTNews) - Amazon unveiled a new subscription service that allows its book-reading customers to read and listen to as many ebooks as they want for a monthly fee.
Named Kindle Unlimited, the service has a catalog of 600,000 books which can be accessed from Kindle e-book readers as well as the Kindle apps for other smartphones and tablets. A complimentary three-month membership on Audible, the company's digital library of professionally narrated audiobooks, is also available with every subscription, Amazon said in a statement.

"With Kindle Unlimited, you won't have to think twice before you try a new author or genre—you can just start reading and listening," said Russ Grandinetti, Senior Vice President, Kindle.
Kindle Unlimited is available as a free 30-day trial at Amazon. The library includes popular titles such as The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Harry Potter series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt, Water for Elephants, Oh Myyy! - There Goes The Internet. A collection of classic and children's books is available as well.
