With Amazon’s Spring Sale in the rearview mirror, it’s time to gear up for the e-commerce giant’s next event: the Amazon Book Sale. The 2025 sale is underway from April 23 to April 28, with several deals now available on devices, subscriptions, and books.

Also: The Kindle Scribe is the E Ink tablet I recommend most, and it’s 27% off for Amazon’s Book Sale

It’s a great time to grab Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited deal currently live for the sale. For only $1 per month for the first three months, you won’t be without a book at your favorite reading spot — unless you don’t renew.  Kindle Unlimited grants you access to unlimited digital and audio books on any device, including your favorite Kindle e-reader or other devices like an iPhone or iPad. 

All in all, this offer saves you about $33.

Kindle Unlimited is usually available as a one-month free trial, or sometimes a Kindle device can be purchased with a three-month free trial. I was gifted a Kindle Paperwhite last year and received a free three-month Kindle Unlimited subscription. After the trial expires, you will be automatically renewed and charged the standard $12 per month plus taxes unless the subscription is canceled. 

Also: This Kindle accessory seriously elevated my reading experience, and it only costs $20

Kindle Unlimited has made it easy to get back into reading and is great for accessing my books across multiple devices. While I still love a classic book every now and then, I’ve been able to reserve my purchasing of physical copies to only books I really desire to have in my collection long term — classics, personal favorites, etc. This has helped me cut down on storing so many books and save money while still preserving my love of a timeless pastime.

This three-month, $1 per month offer is great for those looking to snag Kindle Unlimited ahead of summer travels. Since this offer is two months longer than the standard one-month free trial, I’ve given it a 5/5 Editor’s deal rating. It’s a great introduction to the service and gives you a little more time than usual to decide if it’s the right choice for you before the regular rate kicks in. 

Plus, it’s accessible on a multitude of devices.
