How to get a Kindle Unlimited free trial in the UK

A Kindle is a smart device which transports an entire library in the palm of your hand. Kindle Unlimited is a subscription service which offers an unlimited number of titles — from books and audiobooks to magazines — under one roof.

One way to think of Kindle Unlimited is like Disney Plus for books; whereas you'd usually have to make a one-off payment for a book in the Kindle store, the Kindle Unlimited service gives you temporary ownership of the titles you'd like to read.

There's usually a 30-day free Kindle Unlimited trial, but at the time of writing (Monday 13th January), it's three months. Here's everything you need to know about the Kindle Unlimited free trial.
