Amazon started as a bookstore, so it makes perfect sense that its Black Friday sale is kicking off with some major book-related savings.
While Black Friday isn’t until next Friday, Nov. 28, Amazon gets the party started a little bit early with deals that run from now until Cyber Monday, including these two that bookworms are definitely going to want to know more about.
Both of Amazon’s reading subscription services, Audible and Kindle Unlimited, are running great deals that last for three months each, and if you subscribe to both, you’ll end up saving $81 over the course of the three months.
With Audible, you’ll get three months of Audible Premium Plus (so, three credits to use on whatever books you’d like), plus $20 in extra Audible credit to buy even more audiobooks.
If you prefer an e-reading experience, Kindle Unlimited is the subscription plan for you. With over four million titles available to borrow and read (think of it like a digital library), you may never need to buy another book again.
Below, learn more about each subscription plan and check out some of our top picks from each.
Audible Premium Plus Membership
AmazonBenefits of Audible:
- One credit per month to be used on any audiobook in Audible’s catalog
- Access to the Audible Plus catalog of Audible Originals, audiobooks, and podcasts is included with membership
- Exclusive deals and discounts on every book you buy without credits
- Black Friday bonus: $20 in credit to spend on audiobooks
Kindle Unlimited subscription
AmazonKindle Unlimited’s library is made up of over four million titles, per Amazon, and we’ve found that there seems to be a particular emphasis on romance novels and thrillers.
Kindle Unlimited’s catalog changes often, and once you borrow a book, it stays in your library until you return it — even if that book is no longer available to borrow on Kindle Unlimited. We recommend borrowing books as soon as you see them, even if you don’t plan on reading them right away, because you never know when they might disappear from the service.
