Buying a Kindle on Prime Day? Don’t forget your three free months of Kindle Unlimited

This year's Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner now, and the retailer is already offering some fantastic Prime tie-ins to entice new memberships, including an extended free trial for its Kindle Unlimited service.

Between now and Prime Day (July 11 if you haven't been paying attention), new members can get a full three months of service instead of the usual 30 days for the premium ebook service.

If you're a keen reader, the combination of an extended free trial and cheap Kindle ereader is a great option this Amazon Prime Day – particularly since the latter usually has record-breaking Prime Day Kindle deals during the sale.

Amazon Kindle Unlimited: three months of service for free at Amazon

Get over a million free ebooks, magazines, and audiobooks at your fingertips for three months with Amazon's latest Kindle Unlimited promotion. Usually only one month in length, this extended free trial gives you more than enough time to decide whether the service is right for you – although note that you will need to be an active Amazon Prime member to be eligible for this deal.

This extended trial isn't exclusive to Aussies – New Zealanders can also claim this offer. Just note that at the end of the trial period it'll cost you the equivalent of AU$13.99 per month unless you cancel before your first billing period.

Kindle Unlimited features a vast library of over one million ebooks, magazines, and audiobooks, although its selection of the latter is more restrictive than Audible (another fantastic Amazon service that has an extended free trial right now). 

This extended free trial will get you completely unlimited access to all the titles in the Kindle Unlimited library via a 'bookshelf' that allows you to save up to 20 titles at once. It's a pretty handy feature, and Kindle Unlimited isn't just available exclusively on Kindle either – it's also supported on PC, Mac, Android and iOS.

Get Audible for free too

As just mentioned above, there's an extended Audible trial to take advantage of as well. This is handy if you don't have time (or the patience) to read but would still like to listen to a good story. Allow some famous voices to narrate some of the best titles out there.

Audible: 2 months free for all new customers; 3 months free for Prime members

With an Audible subscription, you get one credit a month free to buy any audiobook title, which will be yours to keep even if you cancel your membership. And if you happen to be a Prime member, then you get two credits during your first month. There are thousands of audiobooks to choose from across several genres and you can listen to them on your Kindle too – most of the newer models have Bluetooth connectivity, so just pair a set of wireless headphones and away you go.

This year's Amazon Prime Day is due to take place on July 11 and 12, and we're expecting some fantastic Prime Day Kindle deals to crop up, which would, as previously mentioned, make a fantastic pairing with this extended free trial. Note, as with all Prime Day deals, you'll need to be an active Prime member to take advantage of this promotion, which is easy to do thanks to the 30-day Prime free trial we've linked below.

Amazon Prime: 30-day free trial

If you've never signed up before, you can get a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime to get access to this year's Prime Day deals. You get the same benefits as paid members, including free delivery, and access to other services such as Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Gaming and more. You can cancel at any time during the trial to avoid paying the regular fee, which is AU$9.99 per month.
