Amazon Prime Reading Bumps Up the Subscription Benefits for Prime Subscribers

Today Amazon revealed an added feature for all of their Prime subscribers that provides unlimited reading of books, magazines, comics, and Kindle Singles.

The benefit is called Prime Reading and it is not only available on your favorite Kindle device but also through all of the free Kindle apps plus Amazon's Fire tablets.

Just some of the magazines you gain access to at no extra cost includes:

  • Sports Illustrated

  • People

  • Entertainment Weekly

  • HGTV

  • Motor Trend

  • Consumer Reports

  • Motorcyclist

  • Bazaar

  • Esquire

Of course, the books that are available are too numerous to list but you can browse some of the available titles through the Prime Reading site by various categories or look for these indicators when browsing books on Amazon to find out of the book is available to you under Prime Reading:

Amazon Prime is available for an annual subscription cost of $99 per year and you can also try it out at no cost for 30 days.

Of course, as a subscriber you not only get access to the new Prime reading benefit but there is also these services for that subscription and many more.

  • Prime Two-Day Shipping

  • Prime Music

  • Prime Video

  • Prime Photos

  • Audible Channels

As a long time subscriber I love seeing my benefits grow and at $100 per year it is a huge value in my opinion.

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
