Amazon has waived the cost of its Kindle Unlimited subscription for 30 days. This Netflix-like service lets you download and read millions of Kindle books, digital magazines, and audiobooks.
For the next 30 days, you can read everything in the catalogue at no cost. Outside of the sale, Amazon charges £9.49 per month for Kindle Unlimited, making it one of the most expensive subscriptions offered by the US retailer — outstripping Amazon Prime at £8.99, which unlocks next-day delivery and access to Prime Video shows, such asClarkson's Farm. You'll need the latter to access the exclusive four-day Prime Day sale next month.
Cancel anytime and you won't be charged a penny to read as many books, magazines, and audiobooks as time allows.
Just make sure you finish whatever you're reading before the end of the 30-day trial period, since you won't be able to access any unfinished books, audiobooks or magazines after your access to Kindle Unlimited have expired. To access the final chapters, you'll need to buy the title separately or resubscribe, so make sure you've got plenty of time to finish as many of the Kindle Unlimited novels, magazines, and audiobooks included.
