GoodeReader reports on another crevice opening up in Amazon’s crumbling “uneven playing field” (aka eBook subscription/sales platform) with the soon-to-be whole-foods giant offering a FREE six-month membership for Kindle Unlimited with the purchase of a new Kindle PaperWhite 3 eBook reader.
So, reading between the lines: Kindle Unlimited’s “Subscription service for eBooks” is so popular that they have to give it away.
Or are they just hoping to increase membership when people forget to “opt out” at the end of the FREE period? (Read the terms of service carefully.)
