Amazon launch 'free' Kindle deal ahead of October Prime Day sale

Next week Amazon is launching its second Prime Day sale of the year giving shoppers access to well known brands for a fraction of the price, and in the lead up to its October sale the retailer has launched a new Kindle deal.

The two-day sale is only available to shoppers with Prime membership, or those who sign up before the sale starts on Tuesday, October 11.

It's one of the biggest dates in the shopping calendar as the online retailer slashes the prices of everything from the latest home devices and big fashion brands including money off the Fire TV Stick, Prime channels and now a new Kindle deal.

Avid readers can now get three months free access to Kindle Unlimited, Amazons e-book subscription service. With more than two million titles the Unlimited service allows users to read as much as they want, whenever they want, instead of having to download each 99p book, magazine or audiobook separately.

The deal comes just days before Amazon's Prime Day sale next week, where there's expected to be reductions on a range of Kindle devices as seen in the other Prime Day sale in July this year. The Kindle Paperwhite was reduced from £129.99 to £84.99 in July, so shoppers could see similar deals in the lead up to Christmas.

It is available on any Kindle device and normally costs £7.99 a month, so this pre Prime Day deal will save shoppers more than £20 on reading material. The offer is only available to Prime members, but non members can still make the most of the deal if they sign up for a free trial before the Prime Day sale starts.

This deal is ideal for those who get throught books at lightning speed, as there are no limits on how much you read. There is a limit on the deal however, as shoppers only have until October 12 to buy it. It is also not on sale for current Kindle Unlimited members, unless it is bought as a gift for someone using a different email account and device.

Once the three free months have finished the subscription renews to its original £7.99 price per month. But to make the price worthwhile readers can pick up where they left off in their favourite book on any device, it doesn't have to be on a Kindle. The Unlimited service is also available to download on iOS smartphones, including the latest iPhone 14, and on Android devices.
