Amazon.ca Kindle Unlimited Now Available in Canada! Kindle Unlimited Now Available in Canada!
get this dealGood news for book lovers: Amazon.ca has finally brought over Kindle Unlimited to Canada!
If you haven't heard of this program before, Amazon.ca will allow you to read as many books as you want from their selection of over 750,000 titles for a monthly fee of $9.99. What's great is that this offer is valid for both Kindle and non-Kindle owners; since Amazon.ca has pushed out Kindle apps for smartphone, desktop and tablet users, you can still enjoy this program without investing in a Kindle.
Not sure if you want to commit $10/month right off the bat? Luckily, as with most other Amazon programs, you can first enjoy a 30-day free trial. Simply head over here, sign into your Amazon.ca account and select 'Start your 30-day free trial'. However, keep in mind that you'll need to cancel your free trial before your 30 days are up or Amazon.ca will automatically charge you on a monthly basis. Unfortunately, this free trial is not available to residents of Quebec.
Kindle Unlimited boasts an offering of over 750,000 books, which is pretty overwhelming. Not sure if the book you want is available? Click here to check out some of their selection.

Or "Don't forget that you could have downloaded this book using Rogers Internet, voted Canada's fastest Internet (causing obviously speed should be measured by votes)."
Magazines have largely moved to electronic form and now Books are making the migration.
Book Publishers will like this for older titles, not so much for newer titles.
That's the problem with movies. Studios loved the idea of getting some kind of revenue based on people watching some older title.
But newer titles which have not made money through sales .... not something they like.
Of course consumers love the cheap option, it's just that Studios can not justify the cost of producing something new when they won't get much in return.
IOW, we will see more of this type of crap in the future to pay for media:

Can you imagine in the near-future when the new James Bond movie gets 50 1-minute ad placements to pay for the movie?
I think it's a good idea, but the unknown limited selection is the problem. I don't know exactly what content I'd be signing up for. I guess that's no different from Netflix, but I have a little better sense of what's available on Netflix than I do of what's available on Kindle Unlimited. The first few books I searched for weren't available. I guess I'll monitor it for a while, search for books as I hear about them, watch for what's new.
That's how I feel but i'll still sign up. awesome service. Hopefully something similar from audible
Thanks
EDIT- I just checked and its $30 for 3-months and you have to visit a branch in person to register/renew it. sad panda...
But if you're asking whether you can download a 1000 books in 30 days and cancel the subscription after the trial is over and keep those books? You won't, you will lose access to everything downloaded from Kindle Unlimited if your subscription goes inactive.
Thanks
Please try again later."
