This book is available through Kindle Unlimited, so you will need an Amazon account that has a current Kindle Unlimited subscription. You can access the KU section of Amazon through the Amazon website, or by opening the Kindle app on your phone or tablet and accessing Amazon through that. I was really pleasantly surprised by Dripping Forbidden: 100 Ways to Make Yourself Wet, an urban fantasy book in which the protagonist’s fight to stay alive hinges around her struggle to master a wet and extremely dangerous magic in a forbidden city. Each of the “100 Ways” that the protagonist finds to increase her powers is cleverly set up to create high tension as she edges closer and closer to meeting her goals.

After purchasing my Kindle, I was super stoked to check out Kindle Unlimited – an awesome resource for huge readers like myself. So, in order to access the plethora of available titles, all you have to do is ensure your device is compatible. As for me, I have access to Kindle Unlimited through my Kindle e-reader as well as on my Fire tablets. If you have an iOS or Android device, you can download the Kindle app and gain access to Unlimited as well. To start, download the Kindle app on your smartphone or tablet via the app store for your device. Once downloaded, sign in using your Amazon account. If you haven’t signed up for Kindle Unlimited yet, you can sign up for a free trial or buy a month of service on Amazon.

From there, tap the Kindle Unlimited tab in the app, or on your Kindle, go to Library, then Kindle Unlimited. From there, you can browse by categories such as romance, mystery & thriller, science fiction & fantasy, and more. We’ve curated a selection of hundreds of thousands of titles for you, and the books are organized by genre, so you can easily find something that interests you. You can also see what other readers have checked out, as well as what’s popular, and we offer up personalized recommendations based on your past reading behaviors. Once you find a book you’re interested in, simply click Read for Free or Borrow, and it will download to your device immediately.

You can read your Kindle Unlimited books offline! After you download a book, you can read it without your Internet connection. All of your Kindle books, including the ones you get through Kindle Unlimited, are synced to all of your devices. So, if you start reading a book on your Kindle, you can pick up right where you left off on your iPad or computer. In addition to hundreds of thousands of Kindle books, Kindle Unlimited also offers magazines and comics. I can borrow as many books as I want and return them as many times as I want. No late fees! It’s like having a library full of books at my fingertips. I’ve found so many new authors and books through Kindle Unlimited. It’s definitely my first stop when I’m looking for a new book to read.

That “Also enjoyed by” feature on book pages is a treasure trove of KU book discoveries. Scroll down past the customer reviews on the Amazon page of any KU book and you’ll find a carousel of other books that customers who bought or borrowed this book also enjoyed. Many of those other books will be KU titles — especially the indie-published books in genre categories. So there’s this whole web of interconnected stories by different authors and within different sub-genres too. I started with a paranormal romance. Six months later I was lost in a completely different sub-genre of fiction. All along the way I’d been following recommendation chains from one book to another. And it seems to me that the path to your next favorite book is already mapped out.

This was a major problem for me until I figured out that the problem was not access but discovery. Kindle Unlimited books are not all the Kindle Store books. Rather, they are a regularly changing selection of them. Thus, you might search for some very famous bestseller and not find it to borrow even though you have Kindle Unlimited. But that book would be available to you to borrow if you looked for KU books. So, go to the Amazon website and click on “Kindle Unlimited” in the “Departments” dropdown. Or, in the Kindle app on your phone or tablet, click on the KU tab, usually found on the left. All the books that are available to you to borrow as a KU subscriber are there. And yes, when you “buy” and then “return” a KU book, it instantly appears on all your other devices, including your actual Kindle e-readers, as long as you are logged into Amazon with the same account and you have the Kindle app installed on those devices.

Setting up Kindle Unlimited on your device is a relatively easy process. First, make sure you have an Amazon account and a current Kindle Unlimited subscription. You can sign up for a subscription on Amazon. Often Amazon offers promotions like 30 days free or other deals. Next, get out your device. Kindle e-readers and Fire tablets have Kindle Unlimited already set up for you. Other devices can download the Kindle app from the App Store or Google Play. I have the app on my iPhone and iPad and it’s very easy to use. First, download and open the app. Then sign in with your Amazon account. After that you can start browsing for books to read.

The books in Kindle Unlimited are organized in the Kindle Store under the “Discover” or “Kindle Unlimited” section. The selection of Kindle Unlimited books is vast, and many current bestsellers are included. The books are organized by genre, and you can even sort the list by how popular the book is. You can “Borrow” a book with a single tap, and it immediately starts downloading to your device. You can read as many books as you want, but there is a limit of 10 books at any one time. If you finish a book early, you can always return it and immediately start reading another. No waiting!

I’m a huge fan of how Kindle Unlimited syncs up all of your reading devices. So, for example, I can start reading a new book during my morning commute on my phone and then pick up where I left off later that evening on my tablet at home. There are also some audiobooks available through Kindle Unlimited which is really a nice feature. But, in general, I just think Kindle Unlimited is really well suited for someone like me who is a binge reader of books. Not only do I get lots of recommendations for things that I know I’m going to like, but I can even “sample” a book before I “buy” it by borrowing it through Kindle Unlimited. I’ve found some great authors by doing it that way. Kindle Unlimited really makes my reading so much easier than it would be if I had to purchase each individual book.

Can I still access books after canceling amazon kindle unlimited subscription?

5 Answers2025-07-03
Once the subscription ends the books will be removed from your device. They will still show up in your Kindle Unlimited history. I think if you sign up again they will keep your highlights and notes and you might even be able to start reading from the same page.

How do I listen to audiobooks on Kindle Unlimited on my phone?

10 Answers2025-07-14
A tip I have: Check the book’s Kindle store page for the “Read and Listen for Free” badge. If it is there, then you are good to go. I use my iPhone, and it is very easy to download Kindle books to your device. Then you can read them, or – if it has the audio add-on included (not all KU titles do, unfortunately) – listen to them as well. You can choose to have it stream, or you can download it for later listening over Wi-Fi or even by using data (but be aware that data can eat into your allowance quickly).

How to download books from kindle unlimited my library offline?

Just a note, check your device storage if a download fails. My Kindle Touch storage fill up unexpectedly and new KU downloads would fail with a generic error message. Had to go into settings and manually remove old samples and finished books to free up space. Also, verify that your Kindle is registered to the same Amazon account as your KU subscription. I’ve had strange issues in the past where I was logged into a family member’s account from the app and couldn’t see my borrows. Otherwise, download function seems to work just fine as long as the basic conditions are met (active sub, correct account, sufficient storage, and current internet connection at time of download).

How to access b&n ebooks free on Kindle or other devices?

13 Answers2025-07-12
Has BN ever explained why it does not sell DRM-free EPUBs? Many smaller stores do this and it would solve so many problems. BN could still create an app to read on your BN devices but users could also choose to side-load other EPUB readers to read their BN books as well. My hunch is that the big publishers require BN to sell their ebooks with DRM. However, Amazon is able to use their own DRM because they are so large and thus, B&N uses Adobe DRM (as does pretty much every other retailer that sells ebooks with DRM). In short, it is not entirely B&N’s fault here. The problem lies with the publishers and their fear of digital piracy. Until that mentality changes, we are stuck in these silos.

How to transfer kindle books to another device?

Your archived items are also archived on your old device (even if you deleted them from your downloaded books list to make room). Now that you have a device with more storage, you might want to re-download some of these archived books. Make sure you’re viewing your library as ‘All’ or ‘Cloud’ and not just ‘Downloaded’. I discovered that I have a complete history of all my purchases over the last years, and can even re-download books I’ve purchased on sale years ago (I found three such books from 2017 that I had purchased but never read). Transferring to a new device became a fun library excavation.

Is the ACOTAR series accessible via Kindle Unlimited subscription?

9 Answers2025-08-07
As someone who loves Kindle Unlimited, I have to admit that it has a strange hold on me. It has conditioned me to read things that are free. Recently, I really wanted to read the sequel to a really highly anticipated fantasy novel. I waited months for it to come to KU. It never did. I finally ended up buying it. And oh, it was worth it. My advice? Don’t let the subscription be the tail that wags the reading dog. If you want to read ACOTAR, read it. Just read it. Find the most affordable way to get it to you in a reliable fashion (library holds, used paperback, sale on Kindle, etc). My money was better spent buying it to read immediately than waiting for some uncertain slot to open up in KU. The ‘hype’ for good reasons. The convenience of reading ACOTAR immediately when I wanted to is so much more valuable to me than waiting for months to find out whether it will be added to KU or not, and for what amount of time. Go ahead and read it, without the KU substitution conundrum getting in the way of your reading time.

How to download book from amazon kindle to a non-Kindle device?

I wanted to be able to read on my phone, but I didn’t want to be tied to my Kindle hardware. The Kindle app for your iOS or Android phone or tablet works really well. You need to have an Amazon account to log in to the app and download books that you have previously purchased. For new books, you can download them to read on your phone as well. I have even added borrowed books (from friends and from the library) to my phone. I use Calibre to convert the book to a MOBI file and then I email it to my Kindle address. One minor obstacle I faced was with books that had DRM. To get around this I occasionally use the ‘Unlock Ebook’ functionality within Epubor Ultimate (I’m very aware this is usually classed as copyright infringement, and thus use it sparingly). Otherwise it’s very easy to organize your books with tags. The ‘Send to Kindle’ functionality from desktop applications works very well for me with my academic PDFs, just check the supported file types on Amazon first.

How to transfer kindle books to download to another device?

I have found many people to misunderstand this function because Kindle books are not simple files that one can email to themselves. Kindle books are protected by Digital Rights Management and are meant to be read within Amazon’s eco-system. Therefore, to download books previously purchased, one simply registers a new device to their Amazon account and all of their prior purchases will download. I find it is like having a Netflix account. One does not transfer a movie from one TV to another. Instead, one simply logs into Netflix on the new TV. This also applies to books that have been borrowed from Prime Reading or from Kindle Unlimited. Those books will only download if one currently has an active membership.

What devices support kindle amazon kindle books?

8 Answers2025-06-03
One area Amazon doesn’t fully serve yet is in offline access to manage between devices. While a book that one downloads to their Kindle will automatically appear on their iPad or Touch, for example, a book one downloads to their Kindle does not automatically appear on their phone. This would use too much storage space on mobile devices, but Amazon could add an option to download to other devices as well, and have it apply offline as well. For now, users can manually download the same book on each of their devices (with or without wi-fi) as needed. For most people who are systematic in their reading and load up the next few titles on one device before switching to another, this works fine. But for spontaneous readers who switch between devices frequently and often lack reliable data access, there’s a need here for some way to enable downloading of titles to read offline on additional devices with a bit of up-front thought or planning.

One thing to note is that the 10 device limit is for devices authorized to download books on your account. Most people will never come near this limit, but power users with a lot of phones, tablets and laptops may run into this occasionally. If you do, you can deauthorize devices from the Play Books settings page on the web. Note that this does not affect reading on the web, which is unlimited. The 10 device limit is only for downloading books to read offline in apps.
