Amazon Prime: what it is and how it works
When it comes to Amazon Prime, a lot of people think it’s just a fast shipping service. I have often heard “What is this Amazon Prime! But no, I don’t care, why spend 36 euros a year? I certainly don’t care about it“.
I’ve heard this line far too many times, most recently from my father. I convinced him to spend these €36 by explaining what they are the advantages of all the services included in the Amazon subscription.

Amazon Prime Reading has been making its debut in Italy for some time now. Prime reading gives all subscribers the opportunity to access thousands of e-books and comics completely free from different devices: just download the Kindle application available for both iOS and Android. As you may have guessed then, it will not be necessary to have an e-book reader (specifically the Amazon Kindle device). The catalog isn’t huge (about a thousand books) but still better than nothing.
A peculiarity of Amazon Prime Reading (which you may not like) is that you can download a maximum of 5 books at a time. To enjoy others, you will have to delete them from your account and download others. So take your time and read them for real 😉
If, on the other hand, you are avid readers, you should subscribe to an additional subscription called Kindle Unlimited (at 9.99 euros per month) and which allows you to have access to a virtually infinite catalog of books.
- Prime Reading, to access hundreds of eBooks from your Kindle Fire, Kindle device or through the Kindle app for iOS and Android.
