Our Verdict

Prime reading is free to use and was launched in 2016. If the offer doesn’t show on the linked page, try clicking the ‘Prime’ link in the top menu navigation and see if that shows it as a pop up. Usually these sorts of deals are highly YMMV so you probably won’t be eligible unfortunately. Easy $5 if you are though. For a full list of ways to save on Amazon click here.
