Readers rejoice! You can download and read millions of Kindle books and magazines for freeon Amazon.


For a limited time, a three-month subscription to Kindle Unlimited costs just £0. Cancel anytime and you'll pay nothing to download and read millions of bestsellers, literary fiction, non-fiction books, magazines, and more.

Usually £28.47, this incredible saving is only around for a few weeks. Amazon slashed the price of Kindle Unlimited as an early deal ahead of its upcoming Prime Day sale, which takes place July 16-17.

The catch? You'll need to be an Amazon Prime member to be able to take advantage of the deal. Failing that, you should sign up for a 30-day free trial of the membership scheme to unlock the Kindle Unlimited deal.

The same applies to a five-month free trial to Amazon's Music Unlimited service, which offers a similar experience to Spotify Premium, TiDAL, and Apple Music, with 100 million songs to stream, curated playlists, and ad-free access to some of the biggest podcasts on the planet.

You won't need to own a Kindle to take advantage of this brilliant offer.

Kindle books are available to read on your iPhone, iPad, laptop, Android phone or tablet, as well as a dedicated Kindle e-reader from Amazon. You can switch between any of these gadgets — handy if you find yourself with a wait but you've left your tablet at home — with reading progress synchronised between all of your devices.

For those who don't know, Kindle Unlimited is a Netflix-like experience with a rotating selection of millions of ebooks, magazines, and audiobooks from Amazon's enormous ebook catalogue.

Usually £9.49 per month, Kindle Unlimited is one of the pricier subscriptions available from Amazon, which is one of the reasons this is such an incredible saving. In comparison to Kindle Unlimited, its Prime Video service, which rivals the likes of Netflix and Disney+ costs just £5.99.

If you can quickly, you can secure three months of Kindle Unlimited for £0.

This discount is only available for the next few days but will allow you to continue reading from a selection of millions of books until late September 2024.

This early Prime Day deal offers a saving of £28.48compared with the standard cost of Kindle Unlimited for that duration. Cancel any time before the end of the three months and you’ll pay nothing more.

Amazon usually offers a 30-day free trial for its Kindle Unlimited service, so you'll be able to continue reading digital books, magazines, and a handful of audiobooks from the US retailer for three times as long if you sign-up now.

With Kindle Unlimited, you’ll be able to download and read bestsellers from the likes of Colleen Hoover, Matt Brolly, Amanda Prowse, Dean Koontz, Teresa Driscoll, and Melinda Leigh, to name just a few. The complete Harry Potter book series is also bundled as part of the monthly subscription.

Magazines like Cosmopolitan, Grazia, BBC Good Food Magazine, OK!, and Autocar are also included, with new issues available to download and read across any device with the Kindle app.

If you’d rather rest your eyes, Kindle Unlimited includes a limited number of audiobooks to stream from your car infotainment system, Bluetooth speakers, iPhone or Android apps.

Several Kindle models, like the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Oasis, support audio files, so you can connect a pair of wireless earbuds to listen to audiobooks on your ereader.

If you’ve recently taken out a free trial of Kindle Unlimited, you won’t be eligible for the latest promotion. You can check whether your account qualifies for the discount here.

If you can secure a three-month subscription for £0 in the sale, keep in mind that Amazon will automatically renew your subscription at full price unless cancelled at some point during the trial.

You don’t need a dedicated Kindle ereader to take advantage of Kindle Unlimited. The Netflix-like subscription for books and magazines is available on any phone or tablet with access to the Kindle app, including the iPad, Android tablets, and Amazon’s own Fire Tablets.
