Amazon's Kindle Unlimited subscription is a fantastic value for avid readers, but if you're subscribed and aren't using the service enough, it might be time to cancel. Over the past few years, subscription services have become increasingly common. It's now standard practice to pay a monthly fee for your movies, TV shows, music, and even video games.

With Kindle Unlimited, the same is true for e-books. For $9.99/month, Kindle Unlimited subscribers get unlimited access to over 2 million books spanning a wide variety of genres. Those books are available on Kindle e-readers, through the Kindle mobile app, and many titles have Audible Narrations for folks who prefer audiobooks over e-books.

This all makes Kindle Unlimited an excellent deal for folks who take full advantage of it. But for users who are subscribed and don't think they're getting their money's worth, the good news is that canceling Kindle Unlimited takes just a few seconds. To get started, visit Amazon.com from your desktop/laptop and log into your account. Move your mouse over the 'Account & Lists' button at the top-left of the screen, wait for the dropdown menu to appear, click 'Memberships & Subscriptions,' and click the 'Kindle Unlimited Settings' button. Look at the left side of the screen, click 'Cancel Kindle Unlimited Membership,' and click 'Cancel membership' to confirm your action. Just like that, your Kindle Unlimited membership is canceled, and your access to the service will expire on the date Amazon shows at the top of the screen.

Why You Should Cancel Kindle Unlimited

Canceling a Kindle Unlimited membership

Knowing how to cancel Kindle Unlimited is great. However, why would anyone want to do this if it's such a good deal? One reason why someone may wish to cancel is Kindle Unlimited's library. Getting over 2 million books for $9.99/month is an objectively great value. However, it's very likely some subscribers won't be interested in many of the available titles. If you're regularly finding that the books you want to read aren't included in Kindle Unlimited, the value of the service quickly diminishes. Some folks may find tons of titles they want to read in Kindle Unlimited, but depending on the books you're interested in, that won't be the case for everyone.

Another possible reason for canceling Kindle Unlimited is that you simply aren't using it enough. This is something that can happen with any subscription service. You sign up, like what it has to offer, but quickly realize you don't really have time to use it that often. Even if you like the books included with Kindle Unlimited, it doesn't make sense to keep paying $9.99 every month if you don't actually read anything. Stay subscribed to Amazon Kindle Unlimited if you enjoy and use the service, but if not, this is how to cancel it.
