There’s still time to get 3 months of Kindle Unlimited for $1

Even though the majority of Kindle Black Friday deals are over, there are still a few going around, including supplementary deals like this one on Amazon’s Kindle Unlimted subscription. In fact, you can grab a three-month for the tiny price of $1, compared to the usual $10 it goes for, saving you a total of $29 over three months. Unfortunately, we’ve already seen a lot of similar deals on subscriptions and services end, so you should act quickly if you’re interested, and don’t wait for any potential Cyber Monday deals. Truthfully, we don’t know if we’ll see anything as good, or at all for Kindle Unlimited, so it’s worth picking it up now.

Why you should sign up for Kindle Unlimited

Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited is a book-borrowing service that was launched in 2014. Members have access to millions of titles, including e-books, comic books, audiobooks, and magazines. You can “borrow” up to 10 books at a time, which you can download directly to your device. There are no due dates, but you’ll have to return a book before you can borrow another once you’ve reached the limit. You can also listen to audiobooks, but you’ll need to have the Audible app to listen to them. The books offered under Kindle Unlimited span every imaginable genre, but the service is focused on promoting self-published, indie authors that will help you step out of your usual reading circles.

Kindle Unlimited is optimized to work with Amazon’s Kindle devices, which come in different models and prices. However, you actually don’t need one to access the service. The Kindle reading app may be downloaded on smartphones and tablets running on iOS or Android, and on computers powered by Windows or Mac. The Kindle Oasis is highly recommended as the top option in our best e-book readers though, so you might want to check that out.

Shoppers who are thinking about getting a Kindle from any remaining Black Friday deals, as well as current owners of the e-book reader, shouldn’t ignore the heavily discounted price for Kindle Unlimited. You’ll only have to pay $1 for a three-month subscription instead of $10 per month, for total savings of $29. Given that Black Friday is over and this deal will likely end soon, we suggest that you sign up for Kindle Unlimited right now if you like what it has to offer.

Someone writing on the Kindle Scribe.

If you're looking for Kindle deals to buy from this year's Prime Day tablet deals, you should take advantage of Amazon's offer for the Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle. For only $315, you'll get the 32GB model of the Kindle Scribe, the e-book reader's Premium Pen, a folio leather cover, and a power adapter. That's a $175 discount on the bundle's original price of $490, but we're not sure if the bargain will make it to the last minute of the shopping holiday. If you're interested in this package, we highly recommend that you proceed with the purchase immediately.

 
Why you should buy the Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle
The Kindle Scribe upgrades Amazon's e-book reader with the ability to write on the device's 10.2-inch e-ink screen, which makes it the best Kindle if you like adding notes or drawing doodles on your books. You'll still be able to buy and download e-books from Amazon's Kindle Store, and its auto-adjusting backlight and adjustable warm light will make sure that you're going to have a comfortable reading experience, no matter the time of the day. The Kindle Scribe has a USB-C port for charging, but you won't be using it much because its battery can last up to three weeks.

Bibliophiles, here's a great chance to add an e-book reader to your arsenal: Amazon has slashed the price of the 16GB model of the 11th-generation Amazon Kindle Paperwhite with a 23% discount.

Why you should buy the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
The 11th-generation Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is our choice for the best Kindle for most people. The ebook reader features a 6.8-inch glare-free display with a resolution of 300 pixels per inch, which creates an experience that looks like you're reading on real paper, even when you're under direct sunlight. The device comes with an adjustable warm light that shifts from white to amber though, which will make reading easier on the eyes at nighttime when you're on your way to a restful sleep.
