Major Difference

The second significant difference is the eBook library. Kindle Unlimited users can access over 1 million Kindle eBooks and over 1 thousand audial books, rather than Prime Unlimited Reading, which only can access 1 thousand eBook. Moreover, the eBooks available for Prime members are changing per month that you might lose accessibility when you read an eBook on half.

There is a similar aspect of both subscriptions that you can only borrow eBooks from Kindle for reading on the screen. You do not own any Kindle eBooks, which means you will lose access to them once your subscription ends.
