Have any of you found Kindle unlimited worth it for science fiction? (lemmy.world)

In the last few months I've read:

Project Hail Mary, Weir
Fall, Stephenson
The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Gaiman
The Ultimate Earth, Williamson
The first four Discworld books, Pratchett
Seven Views of Olduvai Gorge, Resnick
A Memory Called Empire, Martine
A Desolation Called Peace, Martine
The first five Murderbot Diaries books, Wells
The Imperial Radch trilogy, Leckie
Annihilation, Vandermeer
The Kingston Cycle trilogy, Polk

For comparison, I think I read two or three books last year. It's starting to be a non-trivial amount of money, even though they've all been the ebook versions, which are generally a little cheaper. Has anyone who reads a lot of SF found Kindle Unlimited to be worth the price?

I have found Kobo and Z-Library to be worth it for sci-fi.

[–] Bebo@literature.cafe 4 points 1 year ago

+1 for zlibrary.

Not familiar with those. Any comments on them or the differences between them?

It’s a little tongue in cheek. Kobo has good support for uploading your own ebooks. Z-Library is a user sharing and exchange site with excellent breadth and depth of content, but technically is copyright infringement. The onion site works great.
