AMAZON PRIME READING – BENEFITS FOR PRIME MEMBERS

Daniel Wellington

Since Amazon Prime launched Prime Reading in the UK is has been a massive success.  Not only does it provide readers the opportunity to read thousands of kindle books, but it also offers magazines, comics, children’s books, and other reading material.  It is a great service for anyone who loves to read.  

Amazon Prime Reading is a service exclusive to Amazon Prime customers who pay an annual or monthly fee for Prime membership.  

What is Amazon Prime

Carrying books around wherever you go is no longer the preferred option for many readers who have made the switch to using electronic readers and kindles such as the Kindle Fire HD 10 Tablet shown below: This is a wonderful device to access your Amazon Prime Reading titles on as it has a clear screen and 32GB memory.  

Now, readers can have the benefit of an entire library of books at their fingertips whenever they want.  Amazon Prime Reading allows Amazon Prime members to have access to a large variety of reading material that covers all genres and niches.  There is no need to buy the books as they are free to download for you to read whenever you want.  

The benefit of Prime Reading is that with one payment of the subscription charge, Prime members can take up offers on free books, whilst still enjoying the other Prime benefits of speedy delivery, Amazon Music, and Prime Gaming.  

You will find all the classic reading material from Shakespeare to Thomas Hardy, and within the range of books on offer you will also find:

  • Fiction 
  • Non-fiction
  • Biographies
  • Children’s books
  • Poetry
  • Short stories

Really, there is something for everyone.  Amazon Prime Reading can be accessed across many devices including smartphones such as the Huawei P Smartphone below that will allow you to download books from Amazon Prime Reading wherever you are: In addition to accessing Amazon Prime Reading on smartphones, you can also read books on kindles, the Amazon Kindle app, e-readers, and tablets.  There are some great offers on tablets at the moment with up to 20% off, have a look at the Android 10 YESTEL 10 Inch tablet: Amazon Prime members can download up to 10 book titles onto their device at once and when you have finished reading the book you can return it or make a swap for another title. 

The reading material on offer is constantly being updated so you can access many different titles at any time.  Using Prime Reading is really very simple, you don’t even need a kindle if you do not have one.  All you need to do is download the Amazon Kindle app and you can access the reading material directly from your phone.
