I read the whole article and didn't find any explanation what "KU" was. Now I find here that it means "Kindle Unlimited" but I still have no idea what it is. Some kind of subscription service?

I buy a lot of Kindle books but never seen any "Unlimited" offer, perhaps something that is US only?

Kindle Unlimited is Amazon's "Spotify/Netflix for Books" product. $10/month to read any book enrolled in the Kindle Unlimited program.

Thank you. I just tried to read more about it but all I got from amazon.com was "We're sorry. Kindle Unlimited is not available in your country. Please stay tuned.".

Not sure what you mean. It's not in my country either, but I can easily access a page like:

Besides, there's always:
