Amazon Prime members can have two free e-books this July thanks to the Amazon First Reads program. Members can keep the books as there is no reading time applicable, and there is no need to return the books they have chosen. On the whole, there are 10 e-books that feature on the July First Reads page, among which Prime members will have the option to pick any two.
Head over to the First Reads landing page, where you will find the list of e-books available to read this month. These titles have been carefully selected by the Amazon editors’ team. Prime members have early access to these titles before they are made available to the general public, and this is one among several perks that are offered to Prime members.
It is about 8 – 10 titles that feature in the First Reads section, with members usually offered one title to own and keep with them forever. However, for the past several months, Amazon has been generous enough to offer two First Read titles, which include one novel along with another short story. Those who are not Prime members can also buy the titles at discounted prices. The e-books can be read on any Kindle e-reader or any device that can run the Kindle e-book reader app.
Go to the First Reads page to find out which titles have made it to the First Reads program this month. Make sure you do this using an internet browser and not via the Kindle or the Amazon app. You will find the 10 titles available this month. Click on the ‘Shop Now’ button for the e-book that you find to your liking and complete the checkout process by clicking on the ‘Read for Free’ or the ‘Buy Now with 1-Click’ button that are present under the ‘First Reads’ banner on the Amazon page of the book.
Refrain from clicking on the ‘Pre-order for…’ button, which, as LifeHacker stated, will lead you to the payment section. After you have completed this step, the e-book is going to be delivered to the Kindle linked to that Amazon account. You can choose another title and check out using the same process. The e-book genre is mentioned for each title, which should help you choose the free titles.
Go ahead and pick up the titles you want to be part of your summer reading.
