Amazon has today announced a new ebook rental service called Kindle Unlimited. The new service enables consumers to choose from over 600,000 books, listen to thousands of audiobooks from Audible and more for just $9.99 a month. Think of it as a music streaming package, but for books with Amazon.

The online retailer will have Kindle Unlimited logos on eligible titles, which can be read for free by those with an active subscription. Popular titles like the Hunger Games, Lord of the Rings and others are available with Kindle Unlimited. It's a neat concept and one we can see many utilizing. Amazon will be bundling a three-month subscription to Audible too.

I would have preferred a nominal fee per month, all books in the amazon catalog are partially available, so you can read say 25% of the book with the subscription, and pay for the full book if you find that it is interesting.

To kill piracy the content distributors need to make the legit option viable and sane to consumers, just look at steam.
