Amazon Prime Day book deals: FAQs
When will Amazon Prime Day book deals be available?
Amazon Prime Day is now over, but there are still plenty of book deals available on the website for both physical books and ebooks. If you subscribed to Amazon Prime for Prime Day, then you’ll find there is also a range offree ebooks included in the subscription.
While this isn’t as large a range as the books available on Amazon’s separate Kindle Unlimited subscription, it’s still a good way to bulk up your library and find something new to read while you have Amazon Prime.
Do you need Amazon Prime to get these deals?
For the most part, yes. Prime Day is more than just a sales event; it’s a marketing drive for Amazon Prime subscriptions, so Amazon holds back these deals for Prime members only.
Fortunately, you can nab a 30-day free trial of Prime right before the event kicks off, grab your discounted books, and then cancel it immediately without having to spend an extra cent. It’s also worth noting that therewillbe other deals available that don’t require a Prime subscription, but these are typically ‘unofficial’ discounts from retailers looking to capitalize on that Prime Day buzz, so the price cuts might not be as steep as Amazon’s own.
Don’t forget, as an Amazon Prime member you’ll also get access toa library of free ebooksthat are perfect for reading on an Amazon Kindle – whether it’s one you already own, or one you picked up thanks to aPrime Day Kindle deal.
