A new Amazon Prime program allows members to check out books on Kindle for FREE. A member of our Faithful Provisions Facebook Community, Heidi Gidley, recently gave us some insight on this newest offering from Amazon:
As a Prime member you get one book from the library to borrow free per month. If you want to actually keep this book for your Kindle, it would cost $8.99. 🙂 On a side note, I’m a Prime Member and I absolutely LOVE it! The movie/TV show choices are so much better than Netflix, plus it’s cheaper than Netflix, PLUS you get two day shipping on ANY purchase amount for a full year. And you can share the free two day shipping with FOUR other people! It’s awesome. 🙂
Here’s the official info from Amazon‘s site:
For Kindle Device Owners

I wish to cancel my trial subscription. How do I do that? I need to do it by Jan. 26th. Just not using it.
You should have an unsubscribe link in your emails from Amazon.
I own a Kndle. How do I go about joining your club that will enable me to read a hoof free during a month.
