[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I have kicked the habit of ordering on Amazon and shopping at Whole Foods.

Costco, Ace Hardware, CVS, and Staples are all substitutes.  Yes, it takes more planning and thought and time but I am glad I did it.

Now, I haven't been able to kick my Kindle Unlimited addiction.  I set it up to send me an email three days before it expires - that's in 2ish week - so I don't renew.  This is going to be the hardest thing to do.[/quote]

Get library cards and borrow kindle books. Lots of libraries allow you to get a card even if you’re not in the county/city. [/quote]

NP- But you still have to go through Amazon to download the book. I only get mine through the library and Amazon is used to download to Kindle.  [/quote]

When I borrow the book on Libby, it asks me if I want to use Kindle or use Libby to read it on my device. I choose the second option.[/quote]

On your Kindle? I can only use that option to read on my phone, which defeats the purpose (I can't read on my phone, vision problems)[/quote]
Yes, you can send library books you borrow via Libby to your kindle. There are some books that don't come in kindle format and you have to read in the libby app, which isn't a big deal. But that's mostly old classics.

For what it's work, Kindle Unlimited is how indie authors pay the bills, so you aren't really sticking it to Bezos if you cancel. If you read 10+ books a month, you might actually cost Amazon more in payouts than you pay for KU.[/quote]
