Read all you can with Kindle Unlimited

Amazon has officially confirmed rumours that they were introducing a new ebook service that will let you read as much as you want for a monthly fee. The Kindle Unlimited costs US$10 a month and gives you access to 600,000 books and 8,000 audio books as well. Popular titles like Lord of the Rings, Hunger Games, and Harry Potter are available but a lot of the major publishers aren’t fully represented. And we’re not sure how the current struggles with the publishing world would affect this venture.

The Kindle Unlimited comes with a free 30-day trial to make you want to sign up plus a three-month subscription to Audible. However, it is currently just available in the U.S. and there have been no announcements yet when this would make its way to other countries.

LG debuts mid-range version of G3

If you’ve been eyeing the LG G3 but don’t have the budget for it, a mid-range version of the flagship device has just been launched in South Korea. The G3 Beat is a 5-inch version that runs on Android KitKat, 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 1GB RAM, and 8GB onboard storage. It has an 8-megapixel rear camera and 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. While there is a downgrade in terms of specs, you do get some of the features of the G3 on the G3 Beat including laser auto focus, touch and shoot, gesture shots, QuickMemo+, and smart keyboard.

The G3 Beat will be available in Shine Gold, Metallic Black, and Silk White and is scheduled to be available in Europe and Russia first after its South Korean release and then will be available worldwide after that. No word yet on the price though.
