Use Amazon Prime to Check Out Kindle Books for FREE

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

Borrow this book for free, with no due dates, if you are a Kindle owner and Prime member. If you don’t own a Kindle, get yours today. If you’re not a Prime member, start your one month free trial today. You can borrow this book from your Kindle device.

With Prime, Kindle owners can choose from thousands of books to borrow for free — including over 100 current and former New York Times Bestsellers — as frequently as a book a month, with no due dates.
