There couldn't be a better time to stock up personal library

  • You have a week left to shop Amazon's Big Book Sale
  • Enjoy up to 90% off thousands of e-books
  • You can also get up to 70% off hundreds of print titles
  • But you get access to millions of titles for free with a subscription to Kindle Unlimited
  • Sign up for a 30-day trial, and you won't owe anything

Looking to escape with a good book? You have just a week left to take advantage and shop popular titles for only 99p in Amazon's Big Book Sale.

This is the US online retailer's only dedicated book promotion of the year. Book lovers can find reductions of up to 90% off thousands of eBooks, along with up to 70% off hundreds of print titles. There are also hundreds of audiobooks priced under £6 if you prefer listening.


It's a great opportunity if you've had several books on your reading list or are looking to stock up for an upcoming holiday.

But this isn't the only noteworthy deal available.

When you sign up for a Kindle Unlimited subscription, you can get access to millions of books for free with a 30-day trial — no strings attached.

Usually £9.49 per month, the subscription is like Netflix for books, offering a rotating selection of new novels, classic page-turners, non-fiction reads, magazines, and audiobooks. It's also one of the most expensive monthly subscriptions that Amazon offers — costing more than Prime, making this an incredible giveaway.

Get access to millions of books for free with a Kindle unlimited subscription 

You can get access to millions of books, thousands of audiobooks and magazines for free for 30 days when you sign up for a Kindle Unlimited 30-day trial. Afterwards, you'll be charged just over £9/month which equates to only 30p/day.

You also don't need a physical Kindle to take advantage of this promotion. Everything is available on your iPhone, iPad, Android phone, PC, or tablet using the Kindle app.

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.

Cancel anytime during the 30-day trial period, and you'll be charged nothing by the online retailer.

With Kindle Unlimited, you’ll be able to download and read bestsellers from the likes of Colleen Hoover, Matt Brolly, Alice Feeney, and more.

UNSPLASH

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, support audio files, so you can connect a pair of wireless earbuds to listen to audiobooks on your ereader.

Unfortunately, if you recently took advantage of another free trial or discount to Kindle Unlimited, you won’t be eligible for this latest promotion. Unsure? Check if your account qualifies here.

Word of warning — if you sign-up for Kindle Unlimited at £0, Amazon will automatically renew your subscription at full price unless cancelled at some point during the three-month trial period.

So, remember to dive into your account settings and cancel the subscription immediately to avoid a charge in the coming weeks.
