With Kindle Unlimited, you do not get to keep the books permanently. It's a subscription service that allows you to borrow books — as many as you want, but only up to 10 at a time. Think of it as a library; you can 'check out' titles and 'return' them when you're done. If you cancel your subscription, you'll lose access to the borrowed books. To keep books, you might consider purchasing them, which is a separate action from your Kindle Unlimited subscription.
