Plus, alongside this free 30-day trial, Amazon is also running a two-month subscription offer on its site.

Does Amazon Prime include Kindle Unlimited?

Prime members meanwhile do get Prime Reading included, which is a smaller, rotating library of eBooks, magazines, and comics.

While Kindle Unlimited is the bigger upgrade, offering access to over a million titles, while Prime Reading includes a little over a thousand, with some overlap between the two catalogues.
