You do not need a Kindle device, just the Kindle app on any smart device or the browser-based Kindle Cloud Reader. Subscribers can \u201cborrow\u201d an unlimited amount of Kindle books (up to ten at one time) to keep as long as you like. People ask me if it\u2019s worth it. I say \u201cyes\u201d because there are plenty of good books available through this program, and because purchasing one to three individual Kindle books pays for the subscription each month. Now, granted, you won\u2019t always find your favorite best-selling authors in this program, but there are still many great books to choose from.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Below are just some of the genealogy-related books available through Kindle Unlimited. Keep in mind, authors have the right to opt-in to or out of the Kindle Unlimited program at any time.
