How much do books typically cost for a kindle?
I usually buy used books on Ebay. Usually spend between 3 and 10 bucks for each.

you can subscribe to Kindle Unlimited for $12 dollars a month and read all the titles included in the Kindle Unlimited Library for free.
So, I guess it would depend on how much you read if that subscription would pay for itself or not for you.

Kindle books are cheaper than new paper/hardbacks. Example, 12.99 physical vs 4.99 Kindle. Used physical books can be 60% cheaper, but I also am not hauling a huge book on an international flight.
Also, don't ignore the Kobo line of e-readers. That's what I use now, and it's better viewing than the last Kindle I owned. I manage books through the free Calibre software, and it's less restrictive than trying to deal with Kindle formats in terms of transferring from one place to another. Kobo prices seem to be in line with Kindle prices for e-books, and Rakuten and Walmart are pretty damn good assurances they're going to stick around.
One of the things that pushed me off of Kindle, was the remote editing and removal of content that was already paid for and downloaded. I read a lot of history/political books, and the wind was not blowing the right direction.
