Amazon has formally unveiled "Kindle Unlimited," its $10-a-month e-book subscription service.
We first heard about this earlier this week, when GigaOm's Laura Hazard Owen surfaced promotional materials for the service. Now it's out in the open.
As many wags have pointed out, "Kindle Unlimited" is in many ways a paid version of the free offerings everyone can already get from their local library. But it is also competing with Amazon's own "Kindle Owner's Lending Library" - the service Amazon bundles along with lots of other perks for Prime subscription owners.
