I paid for my membership £7.99 on the first. Is their any way I can make the most of this or get refunded?

Yes. If you sign up for the new offer your automatic payments will stop for the duration and any difference for this month will be refunded. I can confirm that as I did it this morning and already have the refund.

Great savings, but for some reason this doesn't reflect the correct pricing in my basket with the discounts

Question. Does "Kindle Unlimited" give you free access to Amazon's Kindle list?

Gives you access to everything marked as Kindle Unlimited. That includes plenty of books that you normally have to pay for, but not all of them of course. You can search for Kindle Unlimited books. There are millions of them I think. I've had it since it started and haven't run out of things to read yet

Anyone know if you can get 1 month free trial if you've not used this before AND the offer for 24 months?

TIA

No idea sorry. I'd guess not to be honest. Certainly doesn't mention it in the t&cs. The pre-pay subscription simply cancels any existing arrangements, can't see Amazon keeping a free month back for when it ends.

Don't think so, no. We both have our kindles linked to the same account. You can share then, but not with prime family members with their own separate accounts.

Just a pity that you have to pay it all up front as I would have easily signed up if it was pay monthly.

There are some free audible books, but nothing extra with kindle unlimited as far as I'm aware. It's just books, audible membership is a separate subscription

Thanks op been looking at this for ages.

Its important to keep in mind that most large publishing houses are not on kindle unlimited from what i can tell. So if your looking for a blockbuster novel its unlikely to be free.

Ok, thanks. I had it in my head that there were some audio books included too. Maybe that's just Amazon.com.

That's very true, but also part of the beauty of it for me. There are some super authors on kindle unlimited who would otherwise not have got published. Some rubbish too obviously, but at least you haven't paid for them

Only if all the Kindles are linked to the same account. Some minor drawbacks to that, but it does mean that everyone has access to all the books ordered (that may worry some people!) and everyone can access the 'free' books.

It says that there's thousands of books with Audible narration available.

Unfortunately "available" doesn't mean "free"

It specifically states in the Ts & Cs:

As a member of Kindle Unlimited, you may read Kindle books and listen to Audible audiobooks from a designated list of titles an unlimited number of times for so long as you are a member of the program.

However, Audible states the following:

About 2,000 Kindle eBooks come with free narration, so when you borrow one of these Kindle Unlimited eBooks, you will also automatically borrow the audiobook version of the book. Also, about 5,000 additional Kindle Unlimited eBooks are Whispersync for Voice-ready, so you can usually purchase the companion audiobook for a discount if you are already borrowing the eBook version of the book.

To me, this suggests that Kindle Unlimited isn't much use if your primary intention is to listen to audiobooks.

Does anyone know where you can see what titles are included? I want to see if this is worth getting for my son.

You get anything in Prime Reading for free and one Kindle First book a month. But not Kindle unlimited.

Bump - this is a cracking deal for anyone who reads even the occasional book or magazine.

Thanks for posting - I'd somehow managed to ignore all the huge Amazon banner advertising going on for this, probably because my brain's been programmed for years to block out adverts!

£1.10 a week for a couple of years for a huge range of books and magazines, shared between the wife and myself. Excellent deal.
