   Does Kindle Unlimited count? Been a subscriber for a few years and I read about 5 KU titles on average per month. Mostly fantasy and sci-fi.

   Hoping to find something new to bring money and keep me creatively busy. Been writing ebooks for 4+ years now. Started updating them yesterday instead of embarking upon a new book - I expect this to take more than a year.
