E-commerce portal Amazon India has announced a new benefit for Amazon Prime subscribers in India in the form of Prime Reading. This service allows Amazon Prime users to browse through hundreds of eligible eBooks and read them without paying any additional charge.

Amazon had announced Kindle Unlimited in 2015, a service that allowed unlimited access to over a million books for a monthly subscription of Rs. 150. Amazon Prime Reading was announced in 2016 in the US and has now made its way to India. Currently, Amazon offers free deliveries, Prime Videos and Prime Music as benefits to Prime users.

Akshay Sahi, Director and Head of Prime, Amazon India said, “Amazon Prime already offers members great value with free, fast delivery, streaming of movies, TV series, music and lots more. Prime Reading is yet another offering for Prime members to help make their everyday life better and more fun."

As part of the Amazon Prime Reading service, users will get access to a curated list of eBooks including comics, graphic novels, literature and fiction, non-fiction, romance, and Indian language books. Amazon will be adding more titles in the coming days.

To access the eBooks, you need either use the Prime Reading website or use the Kindle e-reader or download the Kindle app on Android, iOS or PC. You can download up to 10 titles at a time for offline reading and if you want to download a new title, you will have to return one of the existing books.

Commenting on the launch of Prime Reading, Rajiv Mehta, Country Manager, Kindle India said, “Prime Reading builds the habit of reading. Prime members can now read their favorite titles at no additional cost by conveniently downloading and reading eBooks within minutes. They can discover and read new and bestselling titles from a variety of authors at no additional cost. eBooks under Prime Reading include all genres like Literature & Fiction, Travel, and Romance."
