I love my Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited Subscription. Apart from my favorite series, I’ve read a lot of books using it. I recently discovered that many Indian Author books are available on it either entirely free (as part of the subscription), or the more recent releases are available at a very nominal charge.
I want to share these discoveries here today for all my Indian Readers. Many of these authors have written stories from Indian mythology and religion, while some venture into the evergreen genre of romance.
