It's a funny old world ain't it, my gran used to love listening to hymes being sung. Can't think of anything worse. My mates like watching golf, jees it's just hitting a ball, tedious. I like watching poker, mental it's just watching someone play cards. My dad was watching someone swimming that other week, what a waste of time.

It's all subjective mate,, we just watch what we like and enjoy it for our own reasons.

Is this available to people outside Reading?

You are joking - free next day delivery (I've even had same day a few times) with no min spend (mostly), prime video, music, kindle books, cloud storage. Prime is Amazing value and I will def renew it

PS It's "emperor"

https://www.amazon.co.uk/kindle-dbs/fd/prime-pr

Some good stuff there - including Harry Potter, Star Wars comics, the new Bourne book - but quite a lot of dross. The magazines might be the best thing; get to sample something you never normally would.

You've got a restriction of only 10 items 'lent' at a time but you can 'return' anything whenever you want.

Can't see anything like that

on mine, loads of magazines too I notice. F1 Racing, Stuff caught my eye, but seems good choices.

Thanks! There's some pretty good magazines in it, that'll save me about £25 a month!

Not bad for free(-ish).

Thanks for the heads up

says I need a Fire or Kindle to read some :disappointed:

How can you see what magazines are on offer to see if it would be worth signing up?

great deal..thanks op

thanks op, I can cancel my readly subscription and use this instead :smiley:

I have the kindle app and the magazine won't open. am on phone right now but will post a screenshot later. perhaps it's just that magazine. "Stuff" mag.

Thanks OP looks good to me and heat added accordingly. Do people think that the same magazines will continue month by month or is it a one off trial to get you 'hooked' to say 'Improve your Coarse Fishing' (sorry.... couldn't resist and it is one of the magazines on offer!)?

I'm guessing you won't get a regular supply of magazines, based on this...

Fantastic deal - thanks :smile:

lots of decent items... thanks

Nice selection of Marvel graphic novels.

This replaces Kindle Lending Library by the looks of it.

Great, they add this 2 days after my prime runs out! Heat added though.

handy all the Lonely Planet collection appears free as well

I have prime and I have a kindle. Yet it says I'm not eligible for the offer.

Fantastic! That's my daily commute reading sorted out! Thanks OP!

thanks for this have now researched and joined Zinio which I was unaware of. Basically if you are a member of your local library you can use it to geta similar set of mags online FOC. So can I suggest that anyone interested and perhaps not a prime member looks at this see https://www.rbdigital.com/help/zinio-faq

Thanks for sharing

Thanks ,I love books and have Prime , wow even more books and mags ,quite a few choices as well as the amazing novel... Stone Man by Luke Smitherd ! I already have this and it is one that I would highly recommend ,THE #1 AMAZON BESTSELLER, SHORTLISTED FOR AUDIBLE UK'S BOOK OF THE YEAR 2015 AWARD
"THE STONE MAN is a novel that intrigues, enthralls, horrifies, thrills, and hits the reader with an emotional resonance as only the best stories can."
-Ain't It Cool News:)
Thanks for the post !

Nope. Only some stuff will work on kindle app. Magazines and some books you need a kindle device

Very good! I see "PC Pro" there - so I can cancel my existing subscription to it!

I've just gone into Empire magazine & I get this page.

Note it says that seems to say reading it will start a subscription with a 30 day free period.

Can't add the image.

This is the link to it:

https://ibb.co/curTAk

No, you don't - I just downloaded and started reading a comic and magazine on my iPhone Kindle app.

Does no one else see the comment saying a subscription will start?

I'm probably being thick, but when I click the Prime Reading banner it just takes me to a page with 2 paragraphs about joining Amazon Prime.

I'm looking for a "Prime Reading-eligible book & magazine list" but can't seem to find it???

Edit. Never mind - I see there is a new filter button for "Prime reading eligible"!

I can only read the magazines on my android tablet. Won't let me choose pc or kindle.

Just below the 'share' link it says it.

[img]{{/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.tippingcanoe.hukd/files/Pictures/thread2694064/1495103790776_transformed.png}}[/img]

Saw this this morning and together with Alexa now being able to read these books out loud I couldn't be happier.

Any way for non-Prime members to see the full list of what's available?

Likewise. A graphic novel was ok on desktop, but Empire would only send to my phone. Must be a formatting issue with no way around it.

I thought about screenshoting it for everyone but there are 1075 titles in the list!

Here's an example from the featured page:

Ive been waiting for this - heard rumours for a while ...
cheers op - logging into my prime now!

Now Just waiting for Audible to be included in Prime...come on Amazon, give us an audible credit free each month in Prime

@Covert.Recon

Thanks for that. Are titles tagged in general search results?

Damn. Keep wanting to end my prime subscription but they keep on providing good reasons to stay. I know Amazon's taking over the world and it'll end in tears but they are so good at what they do.

Wonderful stuff.

I recommend Second Machine age. Very interesting book.

Think it depends on the magazine publisher. I picked up PC Pro magazine and sent it to my iPad with no problem.

I've just gone back to the page and there's a section saying "Available immediately on these devices and platforms" - it seems to be available on the Kindle app for the Android and iOS platforms (but not Windows), along with Kindle devices.

There's a line underneath saying "This publication is not available for some devices. The publisher may have opted out of making it available on certain devices, or the Kindle Reading App experience may not yet be optimised for this publication."

So it might vary for different publications.

If you go to the Kindle Books store, you can select Prime Reading Eligible in the filtering options down the left-hand side.

I think the word "Unlimited" is a little strong to describe the selection as there's only a choice of a little over 1000 of the 5 million Kindle books available. A significant number of the fiction books appear to be the first book in a series, though be warned that the remainder of the books in the series aren't available, so don't read these unless you're prepared to pay for the rest of the series (or get them under the existing Kindle Lending Library, which I hope doesn't go away now this new option is in place).

Found it. Ta :smiley:

HOT! Loads of magazines too!

Is this available to people outside Reading?

So what are the total advantages for going Prime? I know about the Prime "free" "one-day" delivery, Video. Music and now Reading. Is there anything else? Is there a "family" option where a single subscription can be used by several members of the same family or household? I know I can probably find out the answers on their site, but I don't want to have to sit through reams of Amazon's corporate mumbo-jumbo to find them.

yeah, I read a magazine in the garden earlier.

There is Twitch Prime if you or your family ever visit twitch.tv to watch other people playing video games.

Thanks for the heads-up, OP. Really handy!

Isn't this just a new name for Kindle Unlimited? When I had the prime trial I believe there was kindle unlimited and a service that let you read a book before it officially launched, from a choice of 4 or 5.

not sure if I'm being stupid but I can't see to find out how to borrow/read a book, they all say "This title is not currently available for purchase"

whats kindle unlmited versus prime reading how can you tell prime reading has been applied mine keeps on showing kindle unlimited

It's a fairly limited selection so it's likely that the book you're looking at isn't part of Prime Reading

Fantastic. Great magazines. Going to save me a small fortune. Hot hot hot. Nice one

Doesn't work on Kindle App on Android, but does on the wifes Kindle.

Yes, it's called Amazon Household. You can share at least one-day delivery, Video and Kindle books that I know of.

I can't get it to work. I have prime (though prime household) and it wants me to sign up to a 30-day free trial. Every other prime benefit is available to me but this.

Good deal. Pity it won't work on my Nook :disappointed:

Thanks OP. A decent selection of books, but the magazines are incredible - both Time and National Geographic available free!!

I've been pretty impressed by the Prime original video content selection which keeps getting better, but this is the icing on the cake.

However, do feel a subscription rise is in the offing!

I'm a Prime member (as part of Amazon Household) but I don't get a list of free content to click on? I'm just sent to the page stating "Unlimited Reading", "Any Device" etc, "Learn more about Prime".

To be fair I've always had issues accessing Prime Video, I do have access, but if I click the wrong link I'm sent to the signup for Prime page. Maybe Amazon haven't got their Amazon Household in proper working order?

More emporer's new clothes for £79 Amazon Prime mugs rip-off

thanks alot! now i have no excuse to buy that kindle that I don't need

Anyone know if students get this offer? I recall they didn't get the kindle lending library for some reason.

F1 Racing and books, on top of delivery perks and Prime Video? I'm sorely tempted to renew Prime now.

The magazine section might be the beginning of the end for Readly :disappointed:

Thanks for the recommendation. I have Prime and would say it's one of the best value subscription services I use. Same day delivery on a fair few items is just amazing, and combine that with the original content video and music it's simply brilliant.

I don't believe £6.50 a month is excessive for what Prime offers - a tonne of high quality original content video programming, a pretty decent selection of free music, fast delivery including same day delivery on many items, free unlimited photo storage etc etc. Prime is probably one of the best value subscriptions out there; Amazon actually maintain this price point at a significant loss in order to make money on the sale of their products and services.

Hell I have a subscription to Time and National Geographic which together cost more than the annual Prime subscription; looks like I can cancel that now!

The other day I built a cheapo Raspberry Pi Alexa and it works perfectly.

Happy days.

Thanks hadn't noticed this. Comics, mags & books to read for free. :smile:

My thoughts exactly!

Amazon offers Prime at a loss because they want to get people using all their services, and Prime customers spend significantly more money through Amazon than their other customers. So they are happy to take the loss on Prime as they feel they will make the money back later on. Not sure how anyone could call something being offered at a loss a rip-off!

The services being offered as part of Prime might not appeal to you, so not offer good value for money for you personally but it is certainly not a rip-off.

Wow, Bike, Octane, Stuff, PC Pro, Wired, Time - only needs Scientific American and New Scientist and that would be pretty much every magazine I ever read. Suspect it can't last.

This works fine on Kindle app on Android. Got two magazines on the go. Interested to see how it goes with the kindle fire when I get home.. :wink: thanks op

Does it work with Alexa?

I guess books would yes. Anybody tried it?

Tried to access it through my household membership but didn't work, only showed available prime reading books on main account. Looks like kindle unlimited is still running alongside it so be careful not to end up subscribing to that by accident.

Magazines I'm guessing will be 'tasters', allowing you to download and read the latest edition in the hope that some readers will subscribe. Still not bad though.

Well said!! Definitely not a rip-off.

You are joking - free next day delivery (I've even had same day a few times) with no min spend (mostly), prime video, music, kindle books, cloud storage. Prime is Amazing value and I will def renew it

PS It's "emperor"

You can also use the web reader on your PC for books but the 2 magazines I got did not appear in the listing and people are saying some only work through the official kindle apps.

https://read.amazon.co.uk/

You can download the kindle app.

Kindle Unlimited is a different service...you have to pay a separate subscription for it on top of the Prime costs...my Mum and I share Prime but she also has Kindle Unlimited and I think she pays £7.99 a month for it....admittedly I found out by accident when I went to download the few 99p books I'd bought and almost had a heart attack when I saw 1000's of books in my list of available downloads...thought someone had hacked my Amazon account and had been buying books then found out that all the books my mum had downloaded using Kindle Unlimited were shared with me as we share Prime...unfortunately we have entirely different reading tastes and still haven't got to the bottom of why she had downloaded a pile of books in Latin :confused:

The other service you mentioned is Kindle First...free sign up and every month you can download one of a choice of 6 books free of charge which are available in advance of their official release date.

I'm a firm Prime customer and think it is great value. So this comment comes from someone who will pay it anyway.
"Watch out for renewals at £99 coming our way soon"
When new services get added, Prime goes up. Apple did 79p to 99p for apps. Amazon will do a similar percentage increase.

Only for Prime subscribers. OP should mention this in the title. Heat added.

Great deal, added a Harry Potter book just to see how it works. Prime is probably worth it without the shipping thing, the free photo library and the streaming is good value in itself

I know people do this, but... REALLY???

Some still don't work through the Kindle app. On Mac here and Empire certainly isn't supported.

It works for me. Can download to Kindle and also to macbook pro.

i can get a list of top hits for Prime reading eligible - any ideas how to search amongst the books/mags eligible for this?

I know people do this, but... REALLY???[/quote]
Since some time you can get free (decent) games, free additional in-game content codes as part of your Twitch Prime/Amazon Prime membership.

Root your nook & add the Amazon app to it. You won't be able to download using the amazon app as it's only an old version tags works on the nook, but you can just select deliver to any kindle app & it should sync over.

Although tbh as nooks use epub format you could just get the books you want from other free sources.

This deal involves reading books. Cold :smiley:

Sadly looks like this isn't available for Amazon Household. I am not the main account holder so I don't get access to this. Same as Amazon Music. I do get the video and one day delivery though so can't complain

Maybe we're just a little more literate than you, feel that £79 spread among 3 families and providing free next day deliveries (avoiding travel costs and wasted time) is pretty good value for that alone, and regard the music, video and Kindle add-ons as a bonus making the whole package remarkably good value. :wink:

This is what I see when trying. Both PC and Mac un-selectable. Could you give me directions as to how to get this to work? Much appreciated

Thanks for the heads up.

It's a shame that only the primary acccount holder can use this. My.husband is not a Kindle reader but I have downloaded the app to his ipad and will grab it when he's not using it to read the mags! maybe it will extend to all household users eventually.

It's a funny old world ain't it, my gran used to love listening to hymes being sung. Can't think of anything worse. My mates like watching golf, jees it's just hitting a ball, tedious. I like watching poker, mental it's just watching someone play cards. My dad was watching someone swimming that other week, what a waste of time.

It's all subjective mate,, we just watch what we like and enjoy it for our own reasons.

Prime reading is totally free on selective books. kindle Unlimited is subscription base with free trail that has much larger catalogue. same as Prime Music vs Music Unlimited

Magazines work for me in the iPad Kindle App

wow. Heat added !
all my monthly mags here....
Pc Pro, Stuff (for holiday), empire, mens health and wired
thanks

Prime is £39 for students :smiley: . So yeay for an extra advantage

wow thanks this is fab and thanks also to the person who told us Alexa can now read books!!!

i am old fashioned therefore still prefer to read paper backs where i can feel and smell the actual book

Mmm, I don't get it myself either. Spose it's useful to see what games look like before you buy yourself.
But it does say that you get a free monthly subscription to a channel, and I quite like the idea of giving money to some randomer for "free". My ten year old self would've loved to know that yes, in the future you can get paid for playing video games! :smile:

Probably won't get round to it though.

Cold. What respectable magazine provider doesn't have Razzle or Big Uns.

Thanks for the heads up op :smiley:

An amazing service that is great for magazines as well as books

Its hardly unlimited though. Its what they select and put up for free consumption.

Amazon prime......thumbs up from me

yes i can read magazines on iPhone via kindle app and someones already confirmed works on iPad.
however this will NOT work on PCs even though i downloaded the kindle app

I used to say silly things like this - until I subscribed. It's the best 79 quid I've spent in ages....

Public library is cheaper - no need for any subscription ...

recommend this book

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Deceit-Birds-Gavin-Eyers-ebook/dp/B06XPRR28Q/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8

anyone has a full available magazine list?

So busy reading the informative comments here I nearly forgot to vote HOT!

After about 4 years, I was thinking about leaving prime membership but this is a good deal for me now

Yes. The offer is available to student accounts.

Loving this! Heat added

Getting better value all the time

Bike magazine is included which is excellent news

Glad I just got Prime. There is enough on thereto justify keeping it after the 30 day trial now.

I must say I am very annoyed ,angry ,frustrated that I have spent many ,many....many years travelling ,holidays ,commuting by rail ,bus etc ,hundreds of hours sitting waiting ,doctors ,mechanics etc and AMAZON PRIME DID NOT EXIST!
Now if have so much to see ,read and listen to it is incredible...no longer need to carry kilos of info , i estimate I would have about 20 kgs on my fire if in old formats maybe tenfold that if hardware was included, I can read , listen to music where and when I want to for a very ,very ,good price ,the future for me is now ,never saw this coming ! ,:smirk: ,from a bit older geezer

well, went through the list of books (Page 1 - 18) and nothing there I would want. I didn't see the Harry Potter...

When Prime unlimited started two of the main publishers wouldn't sign on so I suspect the authors I read are with those Publishers; Issac Asimov, Harry Harrison, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Poul Anderson, Robert Heinlein, Alistair MacLean to name a few authors and things like The Destroyer series which you can by as Kindle editions are missing AFAIK.

Gonna miss Waterstones :confused:

Can you guarantee 100& availability? Do you know if the persons hiring the books out before didn't have any contagious skin infectiions? And can you choose from millions of products from the library and qualify for free next day delivery no matter how small the order?

Commuters these days have it so good. When I was travelling to Uni by train I had a discman and one disc.. and that wasn't exactly portable by todays standards..

Anyone know if it's the primary account holder only or will be available to secondary users? *fingers crossed*

Just to clarify if you're a secondary user you also don't get music access and there is a few other small things too

Currently have an Audible subscription. I see that you can upgrade some books for £2.99 once downloaded to be available. Do they do any Audible ones free? Someone mentioned about getting Alexa to read the books, don't know much about this, are they easy to set up? Would I need more than one device at home? Can I then use Bluetooth headphones to listen to it via Alexa?

How the hell do i get this setup so my daughter can get books on her ipad .Ive added her on my account but how does she log in?

Long time since I set it up so can't remember exactly, but I have the Kindle app on the iPad and now when I go to a book/magazine on Amazon Reading section it shows cost as £0.00 with button for 'Read for £0.00' and another button for 'Deliver to: iPad'.

Once clicked, the item automatically downloads into the Kindle app on the iPad via wifi.

So may just need to set up Kindle app on the iPad and log in to Amazon using appropriate account credentials.

I just got the PC Pro Magazine on my android phone using the Kindle app.

aaaaagggghh. They only have the first of any trilogy or series free! So annoying. You get hooked into a story and then have to pay to find out how it ends in subsequent titles! Very sneaky amazon.

Amazing...

I have an old Nook reader - is there a way for me to use these kindle books on it? I remember there being some software that could convert then?

Thanks

Calibre Ebook Management software converts between various formats, and is free.

When I click on get kindle app it says it'll send a link to an email address. Is that really the official way to install the app ? I thought we were told to stay away from clicking on links in emails.

Have you broadband? Do you have "unlimited broadband? Do you have "unlimited" broadband which has its speed "traffic-shaped" (throttled is the correct term) at certain times of the day, or when you have downloaded or uploaded a preset (by your provider) amount of data? If the answer is "yes" then you know what the new definition of the word "unlimited" is in everyday use. If not, allow me to explain. "Unlimited" means "limited by as much as we can possibly get away with". In this case it means, "you can read the magazines we say you can read, as many times as you like. If you want more, pay more".

I don't read much, but my wife does, can this be shared with amazon family? As I'm the main account holder.

Thanks.

looks like a load of old dross and the ones that are decent are like book 1 of 4 etc and the other in the series are not part of Prime Reading.

can't seem to find the list of mags to download on Prime Reading, just books. Any ideas?

Same here. Thought it was because I was on the student trial.

And here. My wife read three magazines over the last couple of days - but looked again today and most magazines seem to have disappeared from the list. Hope they come back soon.

Only #1 in each series is free from the ones that I have checked.

Got to agree with eightace... The selection is limited, and the OP title of "Unlimited free books with Amazon Prime Reading" is certainly misleading. If Amazon Prime Reading is unlimited, why also offer Kindle Unlimited?

Download ebooks from the library.

Second volumes of most of these titles are available on Kindle Unlimited. Sneaky old Amazon!

Winning deal

i dont get this message?
