I was looking into the Death before Dragons series from Lindsay Buroker and on her Website i found the ebooks are amazon exclusive.

"The ebooks will be exclusive to Amazon for now, so I can participate in the Kindle Unlimited program [...]." [1]

I don't buy from Amazon (and if a book needs to be exclusive to be in Kindle Unlimited then that's just one reason more...). I found she has a patreon but i feel like the description (silver tier) is not really clear.

"Receive all the novels I publish EARLY. Usually 1-2 weeks before they are published to the stores. If a novel will be released for 99 cents, and you're signed up at this level or above, you'll simply get it for free." [2]

I don't care about getting them early i want to know if i get them at all. Especially since the price is "per creation" does that mean i pay per book? How can i be sold there if it is exclusive?

I never used Patreon before and i would even be ok with sailing the high sea and paying back via patreon but like i said im confused, thanks.

tl;dr i'm confused about what's included in a patreon Subscription.

In my expirence with other per creation patreons, it usually does include a backlog of previous work.

does that mean i pay per book?

Yes. But you can set a per month limit.

If you're willing to pay anyway, why not just give it a try? Worst case you'll be down €5.50

Also, she's changing to a flat-per months subscription soon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/update-on-my-in-119294145
