Amazon is currently having a large book sale until May 20, giving you the opportunity to get physical and digital books for some of the lowest prices of the year. In addition to books, you’ll find a free 3-month trial to Kindle Unlimited, as well as numerous deals on ereaders and tablets. The catalogue is filled with hundreds of excellent books and devices, so we’ve compiled a helpful list of notable price reductions to assist you in navigating the event.
Quick look: Amazon Book Sale – $2 ebooks
From digital books for $2 and popular paperbacks for 50% off to tablets and more, here are the best Amazon Book Sale deals.
Before checking out all the other great deals, it’s worth noting that Amazon is offering a three-month trial of Kindle Unlimited. You’d typically pay $36 for three months, so getting to check it out for free is pretty enticing. Along with unlimited access to over four million digital titles, you’ll get to enjoy thousands of audiobooks and a variety of magazine subscriptions.
A handful of Amazon’s Kindle devices are on sale during this event, though the most notable discount is for the Kindle Scribe. Along with letting you read ebooks, the device lets you draw on the screen with an included stylus, making it great for doodling or taking notes in the margins. Typically available for $340, you can pick up the premium gadget for just $240. You’ll also find a bunch of Fire tablets on sale–including several that are built just for kids.
Kindle ebooks are a huge part of this event, with dozens of titles listed for just $2. That makes it easy to cross off titles on your wishlist without breaking your budget. This includes The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and multiple other Tolkien books focused on Middle-earth. Science fiction fans can pick up several of Neal Stephenson’s stellar novels for only $2 as well, including Reamde and Anathem. You’ll also find Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow for $6 (down from $14), which follows two game developers as they find success and grow more entwined over the years.
If you’re looking for a physical book to add to your collection, consider checking out the sale organized by Amazon’s book editors. Many highly-rated books are available at discounted prices, including popular titles like Red Rising, The Maid, and The Mystery Guest. All three are currently on sale for at least 50% off their usual prices, making this an excellent opportunity to pick them up. You might also want to explore:
