Overview
Kindle Unlimited is a monthly subscription service from Amazon that lets you read and listen to more than 4 million digital books, audiobooks, comics, and magazines. You can borrow up to 20 titles at a time with no due dates, and it works on any device — Kindle e-readers, phones, tablets, or computers through the free Kindle app. The selection includes a wide range of genres like bestsellers, classics, biographies, romance, mystery, and more. Audiobooks are available for thousands of titles. Magazines such as USA Today and People Magazine are also included and don’t count towards your borrowing limit. You don’t need to have a Kindle device to use it, and you can cancel anytime. The subscription costs $11.99 a month (in the U.S.). It’s a simple way to enjoy lots of reading and listening options without having to buy each book individually.

Tips and Tricks for Getting a Kindle Unlimited Refund
- Be polite and clear in your communication, stressing that you were unaware of the subscription or that you did not use the service.
- Highlight that no books were borrowed or read during the subscription period to strengthen your case.
- Contact customer service promptly after noticing the charge for faster resolution.
- Use live chat over email or phone as it appears some users have had better success using the chat feature.
