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.

Alleged concept render of the iPhone 17 Air in black.

The so-called “iPhone Air” is apparently on the way, despite Apple remaining characteristically tight-lipped about such a device. 

Numerous leaks have suggested that the iPhone Air, which is expected to launch this fall along with the iPhone 17, will be just 5.5mm thick, making it easily Apple’s slimmest handset yet.

Why the Galaxy S25 Edge is more far experimental than you think
The back of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.

Samsung hasn’t pushed the boundaries of design in its smartphones for years, but those days have ended with the Galaxy S25 Edge. No longer is it playing it safe, as it gets a head start in the growing 2025 trend for thin, lightweight phones, while bringing back a name associated with some of the coolest Galaxy phones ever made. 

Digital Trends spoke to Samsung’s Annika Bizon, vice president of mobile product and marketing in the U.K. and Ireland, and Samsung’s smartphone specialist product manager Kadesh Beckford shortly after the phone’s announcement about how experimental the Galaxy S25 Edge actually is, and why the design is only part of the story.
