3 Months of Kindle Unlimited for Free – Here’s How to Get the Offer as an Existing Customer (Black Friday 2025 Update)

Personal Experience: Why We Took the Plunge

We have been using Kindles for years: I have the Kindle Paperwhite, and my wife has the Kindle Oasis. In the past, we even paid for excess baggage on vacation because we had so many books with us. Since getting Kindles, that problem is gone – and with Kindle Unlimited, we regularly get fresh reading material.

As existing customers, we rarely get free promotions. This time it was different: our subscription had expired, so we had no active Kindle Unlimited subscription – and suddenly the option “3 months free” popped up. Activated, done – and effectively saved about 30 €. Sure, 11.75 /month isn’t a bargain, but considering the amount of content, it often pays off for us, especially when we need more “supplies” again.

Note (time-sensitive): Currently, the Black Friday deals are live. It’s quite possible that the free offer for Kindle Unlimited is displayed only this morning or for a limited time – and may vary by account. It’s best to check right away.

Here’s how to get 3 months for free (if available)

• Log in to Amazon and go to Kindle Unlimited: Check the promotional page.
• Common requirement: currently no active subscription (subscription expired/paused).
• When the promotional tile is displayed: activate immediately.
• Set a reminder: cancel in time before the end if you do not wish to pay (e.g., set a calendar reminder 2 days in advance).

Note: The display is account-dependent. There is no guarantee, but the chances are good if there is currently no active subscription.

Current Kindle Models at a Glance

Important today: All Kindle models are significantly reduced except for the Kindle Paperwhite Kids. The other models are (as of now) not or only minimally discounted. If you specifically want these two feature sets (color E-Ink or reading + handwritten notes), it’s definitely worth a look.

Pro Tips for the Deal

• Activate Unlimited first, then browse: Save bestsellers & series, fill your reading list.
• Set a cancellation reminder: get reminded in time before expiration (e.g., 2 days in advance).
• Check bundles: Reader + case/power adapter are often cheaper in promotions (even if cases are usually quite expensive).
• Reading in the Dark: Paperwhite lighting is excellent; the physical buttons on the Oasis are super comfortable.

Conclusion

For us, this promotion is a no-brainer: three free months, plenty of reading material, and no hassle while on vacation. We activate it regularly when there’s a lot to read – and cancel if things get quieter. If you’re looking for a new reader, now is the time to check out the offers – especially Color/Colorsoft and Scribe are currently very well priced – and choose the Kindle that suits you best.
