Kindle Audiobook Deals
There's currently an offer at Amazon, where Audible membership is 99p every month. That transforms this list of audiobooks (which are 99p in the Kindle book deals) into free books.
So, whilst most of the best Kindle book deals are on ebooks, audiobook deals are also aplenty. Some of the year's best-sellers, TikTok sensations, and most talked-about novels are available for free as audiobooks. That even includes A Little Life, which I think is the best book ever written (although, listen with caution, because it's a tough, emotional story). The beauty of listening instead of reading is that you can rest your eyes and relax in bed or you can crack on with house chores – all whilst losing yourself in a good book.
If you want to make a change to the way you eat, Ultra-Processed People is a fascinating (and free) audiobook. The author, Chris van Tulleken, narrates it with his engaging, soft voice, which makes it all the more easy to speed through.

The Spy and The Traitor is the true story of a spy and a Russian KGB agent trying to prevent war. He's the only spy to ever escape from Russia. Everyone I've recommended it to loves it.
You'll never have a better insight into the mind of an addict than listening to this. It's sad, funny, and has some Friends tidbits in too – you don't need to be a Friends fan to enjoy it though.
If you missed out on the Normal People mania, you can catch up for free with the audiobook here.
Whether you're at the beach, walking, or dreaming of doing both, you'll love Raynor Winn's The Salt Path. It tells the story of her walk along the coast, and has been made into a movie starring Gillian Anderson.
What is the Kindle Daily Deal? And what are Kindle book deals?
Amazon's daily Kindle book deals are just like the manic, crazy sales that leave people scrapping in the middle of shops, except, they're a lot calmer when they're online and these deals are Kindle books instead of handbags and TVs.
Amazon reduces the price of ebooks and audiobooks to nothing (they're totally free), 99p, or £1.99. Normally, Kindle books will sit around £5.99 or £6.99, so to have access to them for a fraction of the price is exciting if you're a bookworm like me.
When I first heard about this concept, I thought the daily deals would be on books that are old enough to collect dust on the shelves, but they're not. As you can see in the section above, you can pick up the latest best-sellers, brand-new autobiographies, and some seriously sought-after novels.

Where can you find Kindle book deals yourself?
The most logical place to look for Kindle Daily Deals is on Amazon. However, if you're not a seasoned shopper or you know you get easily overwhelmed by choice, there are plenty of blogs and pages that will whittle down your options for you.
Just like I've done on this page, blogging sites can bring together the best Kindle book deals. Each has its own unique offering, so, if you haven't seen something you like just yet, we recommend taking a look at these sites.
They might not always have something that you're interested in, but it's worth signing up to subscription accounts that can notify you when your favourite books become reduced.
- eReader IQ: Make a wishlist of books and then this'll notify you when any of them are reduced in Kindle Daily Deals.
- The Reader Cafe: known as the spot for free novels, bargain books and killer deals
- Net Galley: a community for discovering and recommending books
And of course it's worth bookmarking our book editor's summer book recommendations and checking for offers on the titles you like from her selection.
Is it worth getting Kindle Unlimited instead?
One of the most frequently asked questions around Kindle book deals is 'what is Kindle Unlimited? and should I get it?' We had a long list of Kindle book deals that nearly made the cut for this page and a fair few of them are free on Kindle Unlimited. Over there, you'll have access to thousands of books, audiobooks, comics, and magazines for £9.49 a month. Right now, there's even a free three month trial to take advantage of. If you know you're a prolific paperback consumer, Kindle Unlimited could be well worth your time.
The only downside of Kindle Unlimited is that you won't necessarily have access to the same list of the newest best-sellers. Instead, you'll need to keep an open mind, especially if you're interested in more niche genres. There will still be some big-name titles, but don't expect to have the same offering as Kindle deals.
The way I see it is: Kindle Unlimited is £9.49 a month, which is about the price of a paperback. If you read more than one book in a month and you're not super picky about what you read, you'll be saving money.
If you don't, it might be worth just shopping carefully. Kindle Unlimited offers a free 30-day trial, so you can try it before you buy. Plus, if you have Amazon Prime, you can try three months of Kindle Unlimited completely free. By that time, you'll know whether it's for you.
FAQs
When is Amazon Prime Day?
We've just had July's Amazon Prime Day, which means that their next big sale is in October. That won't stop Kindle book deals from dropping and refreshing every month and I'll keep you up to date with them. Plus, it's always worth keeping an eye on Amazon, because they will have other sales and discounts on offer.
How often does Kindle change their book deals?
Amazon has a series of ebook deals. First, there are the daily deals, which, you guessed it, change at the end of every day. Then, their more generic Kindle book deals change weekly and monthly. There's a relatively fast turnaround, so if you see a title that you like, we recommend snapping it up.
Are Kindle books cheaper with a Prime account?
Whilst Kindle books are cheaper than physical books, you won't see any price difference whether you have a Prime account or not. However, you can use your Prime account to score three months of access to Kindle Unlimited, where you can read and download thousands of titles for free.
How many free books do you get per month with Kindle Unlimited?
With Kindle Unlimited you can borrow up to 20 digital books, audiobooks, or comics at a time. Amazon doesn't set any limit on magazines either, so you can have a lot of books on the go. This is generally more cost-effective than shopping Amazon's book deals, although there are some amazing books in the daily deals right now that are totally free.
Does Kindle Unlimited go on sale for Prime Day?
Yes! In the July Prime Day sale, Kindle Unlimited was on offer with three months free and two months for £3.99 offer (saving you £14.99, as it usually costs £9.49 per month) but their Kindle book deals make it worth shopping around. That means good things are coming for the October Amazon Prime Day.
