How To Search Amazon Prime Reading?

Amazon Prime gives you many benefits – faster shipping, discounts at Whole Foods, and streaming videos. Amazon also allows you read books through its Prime Reading but it’s not well known among Amazon Prime customers. Amazon’s Prime Reading gives you free access to eBooks, magazines, and books with audible narration.  Prime Reading has more than 1000 books and magazines, and you can always find something interesting to read. It works like a lending library allowing you to check out books and magazines.

Prime Reading is included with your Prime subscription at no additional cost.  If you are a book lover, it’s a great opportunity to get access to more books.

It’s not an exhaustive collection.  You may see several books from first-time authors but you will also find some popular books.

Let’s say, you want to search for books by author Barry Ritholtz. I type in the author’s name in the search box above.  But are no books by Ritholz including in Prime Reading.  Instead of telling me that, Amazon takes me to the Kindle Store where you can buy Barry Ritholtz’s books.  You have now left the Prime Reading.
