Having an Amazon Prime membership has a lot of benefits. Most people are familiar with the two-day shipping and the Prime Video streaming features of the platform, but there is more. Amazon Prime members can access a catalog of eBooks, and they can be downloaded for free.

Amazon Prime Reading

Amazon's eBook program is called Prime Reading, and it is 100% free for all members. It is like Amazon Prime's version of a private library for all of its members.

The catalog includes more than 1,000 books and magazines, and there are even audiobooks that you can listen to for free.

Just like an actual library, you are borrowing the books. There is a limit of 10 titles at a time. Once you are done with a book, you will have to return one first if you try to add a new one when your library is full.

Another benefit of Amazon Prime Reading is a program called Amazon First Reads. This gives Amazon Prime members a sneak peek at books from certain authors before they are released to the public. You can get one of these sneak peek offers each month.
