Heads up to anyone who loves to read or plans to spend the bulk of their summer weekends splayed out on a beach flicking through the latest thriller — Prime Day 2019 is coming up and is bound to have some deals to appeal to your bookworm-ish heart and savings-driven brain.
Because the yearly sales event is hosted by Amazon, it tends to favor Amazon devices and services, and that includes everything Kindle.
Kindle is Amazon’s collection of tablet-like ebook readers. It’s also an app that lets you read ebooks from your phone or any other type of tablet. Supplementing the devices and app is Kindle Unlimited, a monthly membership that gives you unlimited access to more books than you can count.
Last year, the Kindle Unlimited deal of three months for $1 was one of the most popular buys among Business Insider readers. We wouldn’t be surprised if a similar steal was featured during this year’s Prime Day.
Amazon is still sitting on details of Prime Day 2019, including when it’s happening, but check back soon to see how you can save on Kindle devices and services this summer.
To see what it’s like to read with a Kindle, you can first read our guide to using a Kindle, which includes expert tips and tricks. Then make sure you’re prepared for Prime Day with this checklist.
