Hi
I thought this be easy answer to find but everything is pointing me to buy a kindle unlimited sub for 9.99 a month which may be great for students or the wealthy but well beyond my needs.

I see that I can get a sub of TV Guide on Amazon for 20 bucks that has comes with the print and kindle sub so can I read this with my PC and all my devices that can read the kindle format which I assume I can or is this can be just read by people that have the unlimited sub? Thanks.

From how I understand it, no do not need the kindle unlimited to keep the tvguide sub. From the learn more button

I just worked on this today and I d/l the kindle app for my PC figuring I be all set being able get the printed version and read it on my my big screen HDTV through the app but lo and behold I cold not get the PC selected at the amazon site just all my android device3s so talked to Amazon and was told it not PC comparable with that app I installed so after seeing if I could get the digital pc copy and the print just one company that begins with a Z does it I think as it was for less issues for that service and it was 30 weeks vs 52 weeks. I did get my tablet and phone setup so I just stay with this setup. FYI there is a dropdown you can click that show all the compatible devices at Amazon when your looking to buy a sub.
