Read eBooks with Amazon

Amazon offers its customers two different subscription services for digital books, magazines and audiobooks: Prime Reading and Kindle Unlimited. Both services are part of the Amazon platform, but have different prices and features suitable for different types of readers.

Amazon Prime Reading

Prime Reading is integrated into the Amazon Prime membership and offers access to a limited selection of over 1,000 eBooks, magazines and audiobooks. The selection includes bestsellers, classics, children's books and many other interesting titles of all genres. Prime Reading is ideal for occasional readers who are already Amazon Prime members and want to read a limited selection of books, magazines and audiobooks without incurring additional costs.

Advantages of Prime Reading

Another advantage of Prime Reading is that there is no loan period. Users can borrow up to ten titles at a time and keep the books for as long as they like. Once an eBook has been read, it can be returned to make room for another book.

Amazon Kindle Unlimited

Kindle Unlimited is a separate subscription that must be paid monthly and provides access to a much larger selection of over 1 million titles. Kindle Unlimited includes bestsellers, new releases, classics, children's books and many other genres. The offer is ideal for heavy readers who want access to a large selection of books and are willing to pay an additional subscription.

As with Prime Reading, Kindle Unlimited customers can borrow up to ten titles at a time. However, each book can only be borrowed for a limited period of 90 days at a time. At the end of this period, the eBook must be returned or borrowed again.

Advantages of Kindle Unlimited

Another advantage of Kindle Unlimited is that the offer also includes audiobooks. Customers can choose from thousands of audiobooks and listen to them on their Kindle or via the free Kindle app for iOS and Android.

To summarize, Prime Reading and Kindle Unlimited are suitable for different readers. Prime Reading is ideal for casual readers who are already Amazon Prime members and want to read a limited selection of books, magazines and audiobooks without incurring additional costs. Kindle Unlimited is ideal for heavy readers who want access to a wide selection of books. No matter which service you choose, you can be sure that you'll read lots of exciting books.
