This is the easy bit – if you’re convinced and you want to sign up just head to the Amazon site and click the big yellow button that’ll say something like “Sign in to view offers”, “Join Kindle Unlimited” or “Start your free trial”. You can then manage all the Kindle Unlimited titles that you are borrowing within your Amazon account. It’ll be available on all devices where you’re logged in through the Kindle app. You’ll notice that eligible books will have a button saying “Read for £0.00” on their Amazon page – click this to add the book to your list of borrowed titles. As mentioned above, you can borrow up to 10 titles at once before returning them to loan more. You can read any of the titles on any Amazon Kindle device or any phone or tablet with the Kindle app installed. Launched back in 2014, Kindle Unlimited allows you to access millions of ebooks, thousands of audiobooks and select magazine subscriptions (including Good Housekeeping) from any compatible device, meaning you can use it without a Kindle if you want to. SIGN UP FOR KINDLE UNLIMITED How does Kindle Unlimited work? If you’re intrigued, now’s a perfect time to try it out.

Kindle Unlimited typically costs £7.99 but Amazon is currently offering two months of access for 99p or a 30-day free trial for new customers. The service allows you to borrow up to 10 titles at any one time. The key thing to note is that you don’t “buy” the books with Kindle Unlimited, you “borrow” them instead. It’s not only ebooks that are included, as you can also read magazines, graphic novels and audiobooks too. But, in reality, it’s closer to an electronic library that gives bookworms access to over a million Kindle books. As a subscription service, it feels accurate to describe Kindle Unlimited as Amazon’s “Netflix for books”.
