Kindle Unlimited is an $11.99 USD monthly subscription service that gives you access to millions of eBooks, audiobooks, and magazines. Although you can access millions of titles, you can only borrow and read 20 items simultaneously. When you want to borrow a new book, you can do so if you aren’t past the 20-item limit. If you already have 20 items checked out, you must return one to get a new one.

- Open your Library from your device or here on the web https://www.amazon.com/your-books/
- Select the Borrowed items page
- Browse your borrowed items
NOTE: eBooks or audiobooks eligible for borrowing under a Kindle Unlimited subscription have a specific badge when they appear in the Kindle Store. Also, Kindle Unlimited is commonly referred to by its intials as KU.
