There are plenty of Amazon Kindle Unlimited free trials running pretty much all year round, but with Prime Day right around the corner, there's bound to be more interest than ever in checking out the extensive Kindle Unlimited library for free on a new Amazon Kindle device.
This is even more true considering that Kindle Unlimited isn't a part of Amazon Prime, and so many Amazon Kindle users will want to try the subscription service out before they commit to it not knowing whether they'll use it enough to justify the price.
Fortunately, Amazon lets you try the service for free before committing to it, but the length of the trial periods can vary depending on where you are and what promotions Amazon is currently running. While a 30-day free trial period is the standard, they have sometimes run as long as three whole months, especially during special events like Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday.
Amazon Kindle Unlimited is a subscription service for ebooks on the Amazon Kindle e-reader that provides access to a specially currated library of titles and Audible narrations on a "borrow" basis, kind of like a brick-and-mortar library. This service allows you to store up to ten books at a time on your account before you have to return one to access another book.
There are over a million books and magazine subscriptions available through the service, along with thousands of Audible audio book versions. The library regularly updates with new titles, so even if you somehow managed to read every book in the existing library, there is always more to discover.
To help you get started, we pulled together all the Kindle Unlimited free trials that you can start right now so you can start reading your favorite books quicker than ever.

Is Kindle Unlimited free for Prime members?
Amazon Kindle Unlimited is not included with your Prime membership, and Prime members do not receive a discount on a Kindle Unlimited subscription at the moment. Prime Reading, however, is a similar service that is covered by a Prime membership and provides a more limited access to the Kindle library in much the same way as Kindle Unlimited.
What's included in Kindle Unlimited?
The Kindle Unlimited library is a selection of over a million books picked out from the main Kindle store.
