![]() ![]() VERGLEICH BOOKREADER FREEWhen you get an audiobook with your free Audible credit, on the other hand, the audiobook is yours to keep. The same goes for any audiobooks you borrow through Audible Plus, Audible’s new “all you can listen” catalog. They aren’t yours to keep and once you cancel your subscription, you won’t have access to these audiobooks anymore. Kindle Unlimited books are only borrowed – like in a library or on Netflix. But you don’t need an Audible membership to use this feature of your Kindle Unlimited subscription! But since the point of this article are the audiobooks, we’ll mostly leave the ebook aspect of Kindle Unlimited aside.Īs for the similarities: Kindle Unlimited audiobooks are actually the Audible narration! That means you use the Audible app to listen to them and it’s the same audiobook that you could also buy for an Audible credit. While Audible is one of the pure audiobook subscriptions, Kindle Unlimited also lets you read ebooks and magazines for free. Since both Kindle Unlimited and Audible are Amazon products, there’s less difference between these two than you might expect! Disclosure** What’s the difference between Kindle Unlimited vs Audible? ![]() If you use them to purchase something, I earn a fee at no additional cost for you. We need to bear this in mind all the more as more of these aggregators pop up and become the go-to sources for online news reading.**The marked links and book covers on this page are affiliate links. So it’s worth remembering that when we place our trust in completely automatic news aggregators, we open the door for false positives. I have blogged old stories from Zite as new in the past, in fact, not knowing they were old-not so much because they were from content farms, but because they were posted on their original source a bit more than one, two, or more years ago but without the year in their dateline: for example, a post dated “August 21” instead of “August 21, 2011”-so Zite assumed they were recent.Ī human might have caught these glitches, or noticed that “vergleich” article’s source had very little credibility. If I hadn’t known about this story being old, I might have been tempted to believe it was new, and blog it accordingly. And whatever algorithms Zite uses for assigning relevance and importance to articles twigged onto this one. The dateline at the bottom specifically says August 21st, 2012. (Which is why I’m not linking directly to the site here.) In this case, it snagged a six-month-old Associated Press article-but is presenting it as new news. The reason, of course, is that this ebook-reader-vergleich blog is simply a plagiarist content farm, scooping up articles and using them as search-engine optimization link fodder. But here is Zite, presenting it as new news. (“Vergleich” is German for “comparison”.) The story talked about Amazon pulling thousands of independently-published books from the Independent Publishing Group over a contract dispute-something that, since I was watching when it happened, I know actually took place months ago, and was resolved a couple of months later. Today I ran across a story entitled “Amazon Pulls Thousands of E-Books in Dispute”, from a blog entitled “”. But there’s a danger in this app that’s not always obvious. ![]() I use Zite from time to time myself when I’m in need of stories to blog. News aggregators like Zite are very useful. ![]()
