Will I lose all my current borrowed content as soon as I cancel?

Unlike other subscription services, your Kindle Unlimited membership will stay active until your subscription ends, allowing you to borrow and read more books. You will be told when your membership ends after you cancel.

Can I restart a Kindle Unlimited subscription?

If you only plan on temporarily cancelling your membership then don’t worry, it’s incredibly easy to restart your plan whenever you’re ready. Just enter your Amazon Memberships & Subscriptions and select Past Subscriptions and then follow the steps to reinstate your Kindle Unlimited.
