STOP USING INDIE AUTHORS AS AN EXCUSE TO SUPPORT AMAZON.

posted on: march 8 2025

it really annoys me when people excuse their kindle unlimited subscription as "i want to support indie authors!!"

you want to support indie authors? actually buy their books.

sign up for bookbub. put down your genre preferences. choose either daily emails or weekly. you can pick any ebook retailer of your choosing (bookshop.org may be a possible addition soon).

it will send you a daily or weekly email of books $2 or less, most of which are indie authors. some of them are even being offered for free because a lot of indie authors want that initial exposure.

kindle unlimited is not worth it. especially with the pittance indie authors receive even if you do read their books through the subscription.

you're welcome. remove all subscriptions with amazon.
