After pulling the trigger a little early yesterday, Amazon today formally announced the launch of Kindle Unlimited, an ebook subscription service which costs $10 per month.

As we detailed yesterday, this launch pits Amazon against services like Oyster and Scribd, both of which offer a Netflix-like unlimited service for ebooks.

According to Amazon's press announcement:

Kindle Unlimited gives you the freedom to explore. Try new genres, discover new authors, and dive into new adventures with unlimited access to our wide and varied selection of books. From rhetoric to romance, or comedy to tragedy, you will find unlimited stories waiting to be discovered. Relive the classics you grew up with, start on that best seller you've been wanting to read or try one of the hundreds of thousands of books you won't find anywhere. Find your next great read today.
