Amazon is offering three months of free access to Kindle Unlimited, which lets you download and read millions of best-selling fiction and non-fiction books, magazines, and popular audiobooks. You can download and read all of this material on your Kindle, iPhone, iPad, Android, or PC — with progress synchronized across these devices, so you can always pick up where you left off.
Usually £9.49 a month, Kindle Unlimited is like Netflix for books and magazines, with Amazon constantly rotating the catalogue of books available to download and read. For a limited time, you’ll be able to access everything included with Kindle Unlimited for £0 — saving you £28.47.
This generous discount, which is part of the site-wide Prime Big Deal Days sale, is only available until 11.59pm on October 9. You’ll need to hold an active Prime membership, or have signed-up for a free 30-day trial, to access the ludicrous saving.
Cancel anytime and you won’t be charged anything else, but you’ll still be able to continue reading Kindle books and magazines, as well as stream from a library of audiobooks until the new year. 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.
The latest discount, which lets you access everything included with Kindle Unlimited for £0, is only available until late on October 9

“With Kindle Unlimited, you can reread your favourite series or discover a new series that you’ll love,” Amazon teases on its sign-up page.
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.
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 free of charge, Amazon will automatically renew your subscription at full price unless cancelled at some point during the two months. Remember to dive into your account settings and cancel the subscription immediately to avoid a charge in the coming weeks.
Likewise, if you’ve taken out a free 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime, you’ll want to cancel the automatic renewal in the settings to ensure you aren’t charged any more. Even if you cancel, Amazon will still let you access the perks of membership, including next-day delivery at no extra cost, access to all boxsets and movies on Prime Video, an upgraded Deliveroo Plus account, music streaming via Amazon Music, and more.
