Probably because Amazon is known more for their books than their movie/TV show selection.
Also: Prime gives you access to the lending library, but you can only lend one book a month.
- cottonseed 12y ago> Prime gives you access to the lending library I'm a Prime subscriber and I didn't know about this. It seems the lending library has 350K-500K books, not dissimilar to Kindle Unlimited. And like other commenters, it looks like both unlimited and the kindle lending library has pretty small intersection with my reading habits.
- ToastyMallows 12y agoI'll agree with both points. I tend to like non-fiction books more than anything. But I imagine both the lending library and Kindle Unlimited are trying to hit the greatest percentage of the population.
- will_work4tears 12y agoLending library, though, only allows you to check out one book a month, and you have to have a physical Kindle device. The Kindle unlimited, it seems, allows you to use any kindle app, which is a nice change. I did just recently get a Paperwhite, so it doesn't affect me as greatly now.
- marpstar 12y ago...and that book can only be read on a Kindle-branded device. No iPad/Android Tablets.
- ToastyMallows 12y agoAh yes, good point. You can see I don't use the lending library that much :)
