It’s like borrowing a book from the library but this time, you’re borrowing eBooks. The books are added to your Kindle library and then removed once your time expires or you’ve read the full book.

You’ll need to go to the Prime Reading landing page and click “Borrow your first book.” The deadline to get your first book is Apr. 19. Visit this page for other stipulations and conditions set by Amazon.

If you don’t have a Prime membership yet, you’re in an even better situation. You can sign up for a 30-day free trial and the Prime Reading is opened to you immediately. Get your first book and get the free $3 credit without spending a penny.

There are many books available through Prime Reading, including the most sold books from last week and the new releases from February and March.
