Kindle Unlimited paid about $0.00517 per page read in August 2026, and between $0.00422 and $0.00517 from March to August 2026.

Amazon doesn't publish the rate; it's worked out from the monthly fund.

Yes, each reader can earn you at most 3,000 KENP per book, and a page counts only the first time that reader reads it.

A sale usually pays more per reader: a $4.99 eBook pays $3.39 against about $1.55 for a full read of 300 pages.
