However my Favorite series was done a few weeks ago. Next month I’m pulling them out of Kindle Unlimited and going wide again.
I love my wide readers and its’ why I keep most of my books in all stores, everywhere. But in a redesign, it’s easier to let them have a 90 days run while I go through designers and just update one. Plus it gives the Kindle Unlimited people a chance to read my books. It will be older stuff but I do enjoy the way people can discover my books. So it’s a win/win.
But Amazon decided in its infinite wisdom that my book should no longer be free but be a kindle countdown deal. I have no words for that but 99 cents this weekend for Favorite Crush is still a good deal.
Wide readers can get Hidden Gabriel at a low price.
So Kindle Unlimited is currently the Favorite series and Tempting series. The rest are and will remain wide. So pick what you want and we’ll talk soon!
Frequently Asked Questions
How does pulling books from Kindle Unlimited to go wide work?
Authors can temporarily enroll books in Kindle Unlimited for 90-day exclusive periods on Amazon, then remove them to distribute widely across all retailers. This approach lets authors update cover designs and branding across one platform first, give Kindle Unlimited readers access to their catalog, and then return books to wide distribution on stores everywhere once the exclusivity window closes.
What is the difference between a Kindle Unlimited book and a Kindle Countdown Deal?
Kindle Unlimited allows subscribers to read enrolled books for free as part of their membership, while a Kindle Countdown Deal is a limited-time discounted sale where customers pay a reduced price, such as 99 cents. Authors do not always control which option Amazon applies, as Amazon can override a planned free promotion and replace it with a Countdown Deal instead.
Should I read the Favorite series or the Tempting series on Kindle Unlimited first?
Both the Favorite series and the Tempting series are currently available on Kindle Unlimited, making either a good starting point for subscribers. The Favorite series is described as older catalog content, while the Tempting series is newer. Wide readers who prefer non-Amazon retailers should note that all other series outside these two remain available across multiple stores.
