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.

i dont get this message?

Winning deal

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

Download ebooks from the library.

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?

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Thanks.

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".

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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?

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

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

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..

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?

Gonna miss Waterstones :confused:

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.

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

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

Getting better value all the time

Bike magazine is included which is excellent news

Loving this! Heat added

Yes. The offer is available to student accounts.

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

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

anyone has a full available magazine list?

recommend this book

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks for the heads up op :smiley:

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Magazines work for me in the iPad Kindle App

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

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.

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.

Thanks for the heads up.

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

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:

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

This deal involves reading books. Cold :smiley:

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

You can download the kindle app.

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 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"

Well said!! Definitely not a rip-off.

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.

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.

I guess books would yes. Anybody tried it?

Does it work with Alexa?

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

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.

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.

My thoughts exactly!

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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"

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.

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

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

yeah, I read a magazine in the garden earlier.

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.

Is this available to people outside Reading?

HOT! Loads of magazines too!

Found it. Ta :smiley:

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).

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.

I recommend Second Machine age. Very interesting book.

Wonderful stuff.

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.

@Covert.Recon

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

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

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

Here's an example from the featured page:

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

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.

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

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

Just below the 'share' link it says it.

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

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

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"!

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

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

Can't add the image.

This is the link to it:

https://ibb.co/curTAk

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.

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

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 !

Thanks for sharing

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

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.

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!

handy all the Lonely Planet collection appears free as well

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

This replaces Kindle Lending Library by the looks of it.

Nice selection of Marvel graphic novels.

lots of decent items... thanks

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!)?

Fantastic deal - thanks :smile:

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

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.

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

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

great deal..thanks op

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

Thanks for the heads up

Not bad for free(-ish).

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

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

Can't see anything like that
