Amazon is offering Prime members a free 3-month trial of Kindle Unlimited. (Prime Day is coming up in mid-July.) This offer appears to be widely available to Prime members unless you’ve had a trial recently in the last year or so.
- Enjoy unlimited access to over 1 million books.
- Explore a rotating selection of popular magazines.
- Listen to thousands of books with Audible narration.
- Read anytime, on any device with the Kindle app.
(Note that I am an Amazon affiliate and Amazon doesn’t let me put links in e-mails, so you may have to visit the original post to see all the links. Thank you.)
You should be able to manually cancel your Kindle Unlimited membership early and it will let you keep your membership open until the end of the trial period, and not renew automatically. If you don’t do anything, it will auto-renew at the end of trial period at $11.99 per month. Remember that after you end your Kindle Unlimited subscription, you will lose access to all of the Kindle Unlimited books.

You can search Kindle Unlimited titles here after clicking the “Kindle Unlimited Eligible” box on the top-left.

There are many Lonely Planet and other travel guidebooks available on Kindle Unlimited. A free trial was great before and during my recent trip to Europe.
It looks like they extended the redeem by date, the link says it’s open til June 30 now…
Thanks!
The fine print says “Offer is only available to new to Kindle Unlimited customers that are United States residents. ” So I guess if you let your existing subscription lapse they would NOT consider you a new customer?
I don’t know for sure what happens if you stop your current sub today, but I have been both a paid KU customer and a multiple trial user in past years, and was able to sign up for this trial again.
Cancelled my wife’s trial subscription before it converted to a full price renewal on 10-30-20. On 10-31-20 they offered the standard gift price for 6 months. Later that night (probably after 12 midnight on the East Coast) they changed to a three month trial subscription. Funny
