Quick answer

  • Kindle Unlimited is now called Kindle+, per Amazon's own announcement.
  • The US price is $11.99 a month plus taxes.
  • It is still a borrowing library, not a purchase: titles leave when you return them or when the subscription ends.
  • Searching the old name still works, and will for a long time, because that is what everyone calls it.

Amazon has renamed Kindle Unlimited. The subscription is now Kindle+, and the change is a name and a packaging change rather than a new product: the same borrowing model, the same apps, the same catalogue mechanics.

What it costs and what you get

Amazon's own pages give the US price as $11.99 a month plus taxes, with a 30-day free trial, and describe the service as access to millions of ebooks along with audiobooks, comics, manga and magazines. Other countries have their own prices, which we have not recorded. Borrowing limits and the no-due-date arrangement are unchanged.

Why the old name is still the useful one

For readers, nothing to do. For anyone searching, the old name will stay the common one for years, the way people still say Scribd for a service now called Everand. Our page keeps both names for exactly that reason.

What it means for erotica specifically

Nothing changed in the rules. What matters for this niche is what has always mattered: Amazon's store policy bans pornography without defining it, and erotica is sold on the storefront regardless, which is a gap we describe rather than resolve on the Kindle+ page. Authors who publish through Amazon face that same undefined line, covered on how to publish erotica.
