I'm kind of new to all this myself. But best I can tell, if you have a subscription to Kindle Unlimited, $9.99 a month in the United States, then you can download the books that are currently available through that program directly through the Kindle app. After all, grin, you would have paid your subscription to read them, or be on the 30 day trial as I am. Then too, and I found this out kind of by accident, but you can also download books available through the Prime Reading program directly through the Kindle app. The free Prime Reading option is a benefit given to Prime members. You aren't actually buying the books in both of these cases, you are just borrowing them, but there is no due date to return them. I don't know how many books you can borrow at a time with Prime Reading, but they say you can have as many as 10 at a time with Kindle Unlimited. Then once you return some or all of the books you borrowed, you are free to get more books. Since only certain books are available through these programs, and what's available may very well change from time to time, it is quite possible that the book you want to read may not be available through one or both of these programs. Then you would need to go to the web browser if you wanted to then purchase the book.
