Right now, eligible Prime members can get Kindle Unlimited at no cost for three months. That’s right, you won’t be without a book at your favorite reading spot — unless you don’t renew. Kindle Unlimited grants you access to unlimited digital and audio books on any device, including your favorite Kindle e-reader or other devices like an iPhone or iPad.
This offer saves you about $36, as a Kindle Unlimited subscription costs $12 a month. Current and past Kindle Unlimited users are not eligible for this offer.
Kindle Unlimited is usually available as a one-month free trial, or sometimes a Kindle device can be purchased with a three-month free trial. I was gifted a Kindle Paperwhite last year and received a free three-month Kindle Unlimited subscription. After the trial expires, you will be automatically renewed and charged the standard $12 monthly plus taxes unless the subscription is canceled.

Kindle Unlimited has made it easy to get back into reading and is excellent for accessing my books across multiple devices. While I still love a classic book occasionally, I’ve been able to reserve my purchasing of physical copies to only books I desire to have in my collection long term — classics, personal favorites, etc. This has helped me reduce the storage of so many books and save money while preserving my love of a timeless pastime.

How I rated this deal
This exclusive 3-month offer for eligible Prime members at no cost is excellent for those looking to snag Kindle Unlimited ahead of summer travels. Since this offer is two months longer than the standard one-month free trial, I’ve given it a 4/5 Editor’s deal rating. It’s still not as accessible as other Kindle Unlimited deals I’ve seen throughout the year. However, it’s still a great introduction to the service and gives you more time than usual to decide if it’s the right choice before the regular rate kicks in.
Plus, it’s accessible on a multitude of devices.
This Kindle Unlimited offer comes and goes a few times a year, especially during peak sale periods. It’s available now for eligible Prime members until further notice.
