Readers were suddenly exposed to political tracts, memoirs, make-believe and erotica.

The "most successful podcast in British history" features host Jamie Morton reading chapters of his father's questionable erotica to his friends.

Kindle Unlimited also has spawned a cottage industry of self-published titles catering to a wide range of interests, including text-based erotica, with many thousands of titles in niche areas, including dinosaur and alien erotica.
