SAVE $35.97: As of Sept. 17, Amazon is offering three months of Kindle Unlimited for free to Prime members who have never subscribed previously. Usually $11.99 per month, that's just shy of $36 in savings.

The Libby app is truly a blessing to readers, but the lengthy wait times on popular titles are the pits. If you're an avid reader and like to stay on top of the latest and greatest releases, Kindle Unlimited is the way to go. Sure, it costs a monthly fee, but if you're a new subscriber, you can get three months for free.

As of Sept. 17, Amazon is giving three free months of Kindle Unlimited to Prime members who have never subscribed previously. It's typically $11.99 per month, so that's $35.97 in savings. While Amazon hasn't specified an end date for the promotion, we expect it to last at least until the Prime Big Deal Days event (Oct. 7 and 8).

Kindle Unlimited unlocks instant access to millions of books in nearly every genre imaginable, including the soon-to-be major motion pictures Regretting You by Colleen Hoover and The Housemaid by Freida McFadden, and other popular titles like Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros and The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han. It even includes thousands of audiobooks and magazine subscriptions. And the best part? You don't even need a Kindle device to access Kindle Unlimited (although we highly suggest grabbing one). Just download the Kindle app and you can read on any device — your laptop, smartphone, iPad, or web browser.

Your subscription will automatically renew at full price — $11.99 per month — once the three-month promotional period ends. So be sure to set a reminder to cancel if you want to avoid those charges. Although, like me, there's a good chance Kindle Unlimited will keep you hooked.
