Everything you need to know about Amazon Prime Reading

Thanks to Amazon Prime Reading, included in your Amazon Prime subscription, you can download and read books, guides and manuals for free.

If you're a lover of reading, Prime Reading is perfect for you. The service is included in your Amazon Prime subscription and gives you free access to a catalog of hundreds of ebooks. If you're already an Amazon Prime subscriber, you can immediately choose your favorite books to read from novels, comics, and more, at no additional cost.

How does Amazon Prime Reading work?

With this service you can also read ebooks on your smartphone or tablet. Here's how Amazon Prime Reading works: just download the Kindle app for Android and iOS and you don't need to have an e-reader. Once you've downloaded the app, you can browse the catalog of available titles on a dedicated page on Amazon's website. At the moment, however, don't expect a wide variety of books. The catalog of Prime Reader, in fact, is less well-stocked than that of Kindle Unlimited, the Amazon service dedicated to ebooks and audiobooks that costs 9.99 euros per month.
