Amazon Introduces Prime Reading

10/5/2016

2 Comments

 
​Last month Amazon improved their Prime membership by giving members unlimited free access to the new short-form digital audio service Audible Channels (which I absolutely love), and a "rotating selection of more than 50 audiobooks from Audible's catalog." For the gamer's out there, they've also recently announced Twitch Prime, which offers Prime members discounts on new and pre-release games and the ability to play a rotating selection of games for free.

Today the Amazon prime membership for US members just got a little sweeter with Prime Reading. I saw the email this morning and I jumped online to check it out.  Prime members can access it online or by downloading the Kindle app for Android or iOS. They can also access it via any Kindle or Fire tablet.

​Check out what books are listed in the Prime Reading section.  The perks include unlimited reading of over a thousand books, magazines, comics, Kindle Singles, and more.  You can read on any device via the Kindle app in addition to any Kindle Device or Kindle App or Fire Tablet.
How does Prime Reading stack up against Kindle Unlimited? Kindle Unlimited has over 1 million titles, including thousands of books with Audible narration (ie. audiobooks) for $9.99 USD per month. Clearly this is a much larger selection of titles, but the Prime Reading isn't too shabby either. The Kindle Unlimited program includes unlimited reading and listening to titles in their catalog. You can use any device with the Kindle App, a Kindle device isn't required. An additional perk that is new to Kindle Unlimited Reading is that they've added access to the same magazines as Prime Reading.  If you're not up to a Prime Membership, the Kindle Unlimited Program is a good value. Would I purchase the Kindle Unlimited as an add on? No, I won't. Especially since I have an Audible membership. You don't need them all.

Don't want to pay for Kindle Unlimited or Amazon Prime? You have another option. If you own a Kindle, then you have a included perk, the Kindle Owner's Library. Take a minute to check out what titles are available. 

If you're interested in Amazon Prime, new members can get a 30-day free trial.

​I am an Amazon Prime member, so I wanted to ensure that the information was shared with my people!

I LOVE my Amazon Prime! I didn't even realize they started offering this! I can't wait to check it out! I am always putting books on hold at the library and I hate waiting around for them. I'm really hoping Amazon has a few of the titles I've been waiting on forever! :)
