Amazon Kindle Unlimited Free Trial: How to sign up without paying a dime

Searching for an Amazon Kindle Unlimited free trial? Stick with us and in no time you’ll be enjoying a two-month subscription without handing over a dime. You’ll even receive a notification when it’s about to come to an end so you can nip it in the bud before it switches over to a paid membership.

Think of Amazon Kindle Unlimited as the Amazon Prime Video (or Netflix) of the book world. The service offers unrestricted access to more than a million must-read titles, as well as a selection of popular magazines and audiobooks that come bundled with the subscription for free — no hidden charges.

Signing up for the Kindle Unlimited free trial couldn’t be easier. Just head over the website — or click the button above — and follow the on-screen instructions to create an Amazon account. Already have one? Simply click ‘”Join Kindle Unlimited”. You’re now enrolled for two months — for free.

Of course, there are some caveats. First, the two-month trial offer is only valid for customers who subscribe before midnight on June 30. Second, former Kindle Unlimited subscribers are not eligible for the taster: They’ll need to hand over the usual $10 per month if they want to use it again.

Android 15 might add a new way to charge your gadgets
The Android 15 logo on a smartphone.

Wireless charging has been a fringe feature for over a decade, despite Apple's push into the ecosystem with the iPhone X and its later adoption of MagSafe. It has been limited to flagship phones, save for a few exceptions, mostly due to the painfully slow charging speeds. But with Android 15, Google now seems to offer phone makers additional reasons to adopt wireless charging even without dedicated hardware.

Instead of relying on a dedicated charging coil, Android 15 could enable wireless charging on phones with Near Field Communications (or NFC) tech. Android Authority dug up instances from the source code of Android 15's first user beta, which arrived last week, that suggests the implementation.

How futuristic display tech is trying to save your eyes
Lock screen on Onyx Boox Tab Ultra C

I recently found myself on a reporting assignment in Trivandrum, a beautiful beach town in India’s southernmost state. One sweltering day, as I lay reading some comics on a deckchair, I noticed that a Dutch woman kept taking a peek at my tablet. With hopes of finding a new comics-loving friend from a different world, I asked if she enjoys the work of Mark Millar.

“I am more curious about the screen protector on your tablet. What is it?” she asked in her distinctive accent. I told her that there was no screen protector in place. The display itself looks and feels like paper, with little to no glare. The slate in question was the Onyx Tab Ultra C, which features a Kaleido 3 E Ink display.

Why you need to be excited about the Google Pixel 8a

This is going to be a busy year for Google Pixel devices. In less than a month, Google is expected to launch its first new Pixel of the year with the Google Pixel 8a. Following that, we're expecting a Google Pixel Fold 2, possibly another Pixel Tablet, the Pixel 9 series, and a Pixel Watch 3 later in the fall.

There's plenty to look forward to with all of those Pixels, but if you ask me, I think the Pixel 8a is the most promising of the bunch. In a year when Google has exciting upgrades planned for its flagship and foldable phones, Google's budget-focused omodel is what's really on my mind.
