Dan Price wrote for Make Use Of: "1. Kindle Unlimited Has a Poor Selection of Books. Amazon likes to trumpet that Kindle Unlimited has more than one million books available for subscribers to read. And while that figure is accurate, you won’t find many best sellers or popular books on the list. None of the major publishing houses have made their books available on Kindle Unlimited. That means no Penguin Random House, Hachette, Macmillan, HarperCollins, or Simon & Schuster. If you have a favorite author, there’s a good chance their work is published by one of these “Big Five”. 2. Kindle Unlimited Is Expensive. Although $9.99/month may sound pretty reasonable for all-you-can-read-ebooks, when you consider the price of the titles available it’s actually quite expensive. The vast majority of self-published books on Amazon sell for less than $5. Many are less than $3 and some are even less than $1. This means that to make up for the $10 subscription fee, you’re going to need to read quite a few books a month. 3. Kindle Unlimited Requires an Internet Connection. The best thing about the Amazon Kindle is that, unlike your phone, it doesn’t need to be charged every night or constantly connected to the internet to be useful. If you use Kindle Unlimited, you lose some of this flexibility. 4. Other Ebook Services Are Better. While Oyster was acquired by Google, Scribd is still around and for $8.99/mo you can read three books and listen to one audiobook. You’ll actually find books from bestselling authors like Stephen King or Walter Isaacson available for you to download."
