There are a number of various things to speak about within the Kindleverse proper now, none of that are notably fascinating sufficient to warrant their very own posts, so let’s bundle them collectively into one article.
First off, should you’re an Amazon Prime member, you may get two free ebooks this month by Amazon First Reads. Each month Prime members get to select one free book from “First Reads”, however this month Amazon is providing two books at no cost. In case you don’t have Prime these similar books shall be obtainable by Kindle Limitless beginning subsequent month.
Secondly, I obtained an electronic mail from Amazon at the moment in regards to the New Yr Kindle Problem for 2025. Like regular, you’ll be able to solely view the problem on the Kindle app for Android and iOS for some purpose, however you’ll be able to unlock achievement by studying on a Kindle ereader, or through the use of Kindle for Internet and Kindle apps.
Amazon has been doing these Kindle Challenges since 2021. Again within the early days you might earn a $5 credit score for finishing a sure variety of achievements, however now you don’t get something and it’s stunning persons are nonetheless interested by the identical factor after 4 years of endless Kindle Challenges that simply preserve rolling into “new” Kindle Challenges each three months, with no actual rewards or advantages in any respect—you’d assume they may not less than tie it into the Kindle Rewards program to earn factors.
On the backside of the studying problem electronic mail, Amazon additionally talks about setting studying targets for 2025, however the the linked Studying Insights web page doesn’t even have something about setting studying targets. I assume you’re alleged to internalize your studying targets, however the web page is beneficial if you wish to view your studying statistics from earlier years and months. It reveals what number of books you’ve learn by yr, what number of days you learn monthly, together with each day and weekly studying streaks. I nonetheless don’t perceive why Amazon doesn’t have the choice to point out this info straight on Kindle gadgets.
Lastly, the earlier technology Kindle Paperwhite Signature Version is obtainable on Woot once more for $109. Like final time it’s listed as Amazon Refurbished. That very same refurbished mannequin is promoting for $169 on Amazon proper now.
