And surprise surprise most of the books people want aren't part of the "unlimited" package.
I would recommend people check out the audiobook selection at their local library. In a big/mid-size city it can be pretty amazing.
You can get access with your library card and then inputting it into one of the following apps:
Libby, Axis360, Hoopla
Support your local library and save some money!!
I keep an Amazon shopping list for Kindle Unlimited titles that catch my eye. Then when Amazon has these Kindle Unlimited membership deals, I grab it, borrow the Kindle Unlimited books, and buy the add-on audiobook.
Whenever you buy an Audible audiobook with cash or Audible's credit system, you keep that title, no matter if you have an Audible membership or not, it stays yours and is attached to your Amazon account (even if your Amazon account is Prime, or is not Prime). The only caveat is these are digital purchases, so you own them as much as you own online video games: you buy the access, so download your audiobooks in order to keep them forever.
If have further questions about Audible books through Kindle Unlimited, go to the subreddit specifically for Audible and post a link with any book in question. That group should help you get answers, when you get that annoying customer service bounce.

Looks like so, you should be able to place another order and send it to a different email address of your own, and later use the code whenever you wish to restart subscription

But.....ssshhhh. I wouldn't want Amazon to change this.
Kindle unlimited is great to get for a few months on occasion. Gives you the opportunity to read some good series on the platform. I don't find it to be worth it for the entire year. Especially because they have frequent deals on 1 to 3 month trials. I usually leverage those and sometimes pay for the odd month or two (paying this very month in fact).
As an example - Currently, I'm reading/listening the John Rain series by Barry Eisler on the platform. I'm constantly amazed by how good the series is compared to some other 'big name' authors. The spy-craft is practical and seems authentic. And the author uses real locations/landmarks/restaurant/coffee shops and does an excellent job describing them. He's narrated the series himself and done an amazing job at it; definitely on par with professional narrators on audible. (I typically listen to ~60 audiobooks a year, heavily relying on Audible, library, kindle sales; usually only read 'big name' established authors, so I know what I'm talking about when I say the narration is not amateurish at all). I'm on the 6th book now, and the $10 monthly price I've paid so far, has been a far better investment than the typical $5 to $15 I spend per book on audible.
The point is - there are some very good books/series on Kindle Unlimited. But be wary about taking the annual subscription - You'll eventually start reading sub-par efforts and not even realize it till much later. Better to vary your sources (library, your personal purchases, kindle sales, audible etc.). Tap into Kindle Unlimited on occasion to get the best offerings of the service, and then move on. Return a year later for a few months. This strategy will serve you well.
