Amazon Kindle Unlimited Free Trial: How to sign up without paying a dime

Searching for an Amazon Kindle Unlimited free trial? Stick with us and in no time you’ll be enjoying a two-month subscription without handing over a dime. You’ll even receive a notification when it’s about to come to an end so you can nip it in the bud before it switches over to a paid membership.

Think of Amazon Kindle Unlimited as the Amazon Prime Video (or Netflix) of the book world. The service offers unrestricted access to more than a million must-read titles, as well as a selection of popular magazines and audiobooks that come bundled with the subscription for free — no hidden charges.

Signing up for the Kindle Unlimited free trial couldn’t be easier. Just head over the website — or click the button above — and follow the on-screen instructions to create an Amazon account. Already have one? Simply click ‘”Join Kindle Unlimited”. You’re now enrolled for two months — for free.

Of course, there are some caveats. First, the two-month trial offer is only valid for customers who subscribe before midnight on June 30. Second, former Kindle Unlimited subscribers are not eligible for the taster: They’ll need to hand over the usual $10 per month if they want to use it again.

Apple stamped its entry into the AI era this year with the release of Apple Intelligence. But 2024 also marked the year when Apple’s staggered release plan for feature updates was also slower than usual. 2025 might not be much different.

According to Bloomberg, Apple has pushed an unspecified number of features that were otherwise supposed to arrive with the iOS 19 update next year. Earlier this week, the outlet also reported that a planned Siri upgrade that would give it more conversational chops has been delayed until spring 2026.

Google has pulled a surprise with Android 16 by releasing the test build of its next major mobile OS update months ahead of the usual schedule. The cadence of public updates is also changing, and instead of a third-quarter release, a stable update will be released midway through the year.

How I made my Android tablet better than a Windows laptop

Roughly two years ago, I argued how almost every company making Android devices wants an ecosystem like Apple, but they just can't have it! Two years later, I still feel the same, even though brands have landscaped their ecosystems to present better cross-device connectivity (an essence of ecosystems).

However, brands haven't been able to overcome the detachment between Android and Windows yet, which has especially alienated productivity-oriented devices like big and powerful Android tablets from realizing their full potential.
