Amazon Kindle Unlimited Free Trial: How to sign up without paying a dime

Searching for an Amazon Kindle Unlimited free trial? Stick with us and in no time you’ll be enjoying a two-month subscription without handing over a dime. You’ll even receive a notification when it’s about to come to an end so you can nip it in the bud before it switches over to a paid membership.

Think of Amazon Kindle Unlimited as the Amazon Prime Video (or Netflix) of the book world. The service offers unrestricted access to more than a million must-read titles, as well as a selection of popular magazines and audiobooks that come bundled with the subscription for free — no hidden charges.

Signing up for the Kindle Unlimited free trial couldn’t be easier. Just head over the website — or click the button above — and follow the on-screen instructions to create an Amazon account. Already have one? Simply click ‘”Join Kindle Unlimited”. You’re now enrolled for two months — for free.

Of course, there are some caveats. First, the two-month trial offer is only valid for customers who subscribe before midnight on June 30. Second, former Kindle Unlimited subscribers are not eligible for the taster: They’ll need to hand over the usual $10 per month if they want to use it again.

Upcoming OnePlus Watch 3 might have a rotating crown
Third part watch face on OnePlus Watch 2r.

After a less-than-exciting launch with the OnePlus Watch 2, it's time for a change — and hopefully, a wearable that more closely matches modern devices. We expect the OnePlus Watch 3 to release on January 7, but now new details suggest it might come with a rotating crown.

This update is a big win for OnePlus Watch fans. The crown has been a long-requested feature that will make it easier to navigate through the interface, and improved sensors give access to ECGs and other features that were missing in the previous generation, according to Yogesh Brar.

Google’s ongoing antitrust tussle spawned a list of sweeping policy suggestions — including a proposed sale of the Chrome business — by the Department of Justice. The focus of the lawsuit centers on the Search monopoly, but it has serious ramifications for Android and the overall browser situation.

Now, Google has shared its own “remedies proposal” to the DOJ’s recommendations, which it claims are going “far beyond what the Court’s decision is actually about.”
