After months of speculation, Amazon announced Friday that it was introducing a digital subscription service that allows subscribers to download unlimited e-books and digital audiobooks for $9.99 a month. The service, Kindle Unlimited, offers a Netflix style, all-you-can-read approach to a library of more than 600,000 e-books, including blockbuster series like “The Hunger Games” and “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.”

News of the service was reported earlier this week when Amazon accidentally posted a promotional video for the subscription model. The video was quickly taken down from Amazon’s website, but not before technology bloggers took notice.

So far, it appears that few of the biggest publishers will be making their titles available through the service. Books published by HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster, for example, are not offered, representatives from both companies confirmed.
