Prime members get a free e-book with Amazon's First Reads
FREE E-BOOK WITH PRIME: As of May 2, Amazon Prime members can score a free e-book with Amazon First Reads.
Prime Members get a lot of benefits with their plan. Great TV shows and films, next day delivery and of course, big sales events like the Big Spring Sale and Prime Day. But did you know about the monthly free book?
At the start of each month, Prime Members can pick one book from the First Reads selection that's added to their Kindle library, at no cost. The options are refreshed every month, so the May selection is now live. There are eight books to choose from, and one children's picture book. Not a Prime member? Don't worry, you don't have to miss out on the fun. While the e-books aren't free for non-members, they are reduced down to the low price of $1.99.
Books are broken down into various genres, covering everything from historical fiction, psychological thriller, and women's fiction, so there's really something for everyone. May's e-book titles include A Sky Full of Love by Lorna Lewis, Family & Other Calamities by Leslie Gray Streeter, and Homemaker by Ruthie Knox.
Don't miss out on your free e-book this month.
