Amazon has announced that its Kindle Unlimited subscription has been rebranded as Kindle+, and it now includes a larger audiobook library. The service keeps the same features and price as Kindle Unlimited. It is a book subscription that costs $11.99/month and gives access to "millions of eBooks, as well as thousands of audiobooks, comics, manga, and magazines."
Subscribers can borrow up to 20 digital books, audiobooks, or comics at a time. Titles can be enjoyed in the Kindle app on Apple devices such as the iPhone and iPad, as well as on Kindle devices. While the unveiling is largely a rebrand, it also expands the audiobook selection available to subscribers.
The upgrade gives authors the option to include more eligible audiobooks in Kindle+, including AI-narrated titles created with Amazon's Virtual Voice tool. Amazon hopes this will enhance the reading experience by letting users continue an ebook with virtual narration after they put down their Kindle. Kindle+ also adds more human-narrated audiobooks, so subscribers can choose from traditional narrators as well as Virtual Voice versions.
New subscribers can sign up for Kindle+ with a 30-day free trial.
