Key facts
- Amazon's Kindle Unlimited (KU) got a price hike in 2023 that bumped up its subscription fee from $9.99 a month to $11.99
- If you apply for a new Prime Visa or an Amazon Visa, though, you'll get a $200 and a $50 Amazon gift card, respectively, which you can then use to pay for Kindle Unlimited
- Chase, for instance, sometimes sends out offers for a 20 percent discount on the service that will shave off $2.40 and bring the fee down to $9.60
- This admittedly won't get Kindle Unlimited's price down by much, but hey you'll still get a $1 discount per month if you buy a 12-month gift membership
Summary
Did you know you can get a free subscription with a Kindle device purchase? Amazon's Kindle Unlimited (KU) got a price hike in 2023 that bumped up its subscription fee from $9.99 a month to $11.99. To clarify, you're not required to get a Kindle Unlimited membership or to pay a monthly fee to keep using your ereader. Amazon Family, previously known as Amazon Household, lets you share Prime benefits and digital content with one other adult and up to four children, as long as they have the same primary residential address. Once that's done, you can start sharing books. Don't forget that you two will also have to split the maximum download limit of 20 titles at a time if you don't read the same things.
