It might seem expensive at $99 per year, but Amazon Prime is one of Amazon’s best products, and one of the best deals on the internet. In addition to fast, free shipping, Amazon Prime also offers a variety of perks to subscribers including unlimited video and music streaming, unlimited photo storage and early Amazon deals to name just a few. And if that’s not enough, Amazon keeps adding new features to its Prime program.

Amazon latest idea for Prime subscribers is called Prime reading, and bookworms will certain appreciate it. If you already love the lending feature of Amazon Prime, the one where you get to borrow one book a month for no charge, then you’re going to like Prime reading even more.

Every Prime subscriber will be able to read as much as they want from a selection of over a thousand books, magazines, comics, Kindle Singles and others. The books will be available free of charge on any Kindle device and in the Kindle apps for iPone and Android for as long as you remain an Amazon Prime subscriber.

Current titles include The Man in the High Castle, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, The Hobbit, and National Geographic, but the selection will rotate so that you won’t be stuck with the same selection of free titles.

The offer is available right away, as long as you get Amazon Prime first — more details about Prime reading are available at this link.
