Amazon tends to offer its service deals for a good while before Cyber Monday but not for long after. That means its ongoing Kindle Unlimited deal will leave soon, and time is running out to score three months for $1. I've broken down how to secure the discount below, and be sure to check out our roundup of the best Amazon Cyber Monday deals for more savings.

Kindle Unlimited is a powerful service that, while not necessary for Kindle enjoyment, goes hand-in-hand with owning one. A three-month period for only $1 matches the best deals we've seen for the service on past major deal holidays, like Amazon Prime Day. It's unlikely that it'll return anytime soon after Cyber Monday, so I highly recommend picking it up now if you're interested — it's only a dollar, after all.

Cyber Monday Kindle Unlimited FAQs

What is Kindle Unlimited?

Kindle Unlimited is a paid subscription service that complements e-reading. It provides access to a huge library of titles at no additional cost, plus audiobooks and magazine subscriptions. The service usually costs $12 a month, making this ongoing Cyber Monday Kindle Unlimited deal an especially great deal.

Learn more in our comprehensive guide to Kindle Unlimited.

Is Kindle Unlimited required to use a Kindle?

Kindle Unlimited is not a required service for Kindle owners. It's a nice supplement, especially if you're gifting someone a Kindle, as it automatically gifts them a library of books to read for no extra cost. However, you can skip the subscription if you have a collection of e-books from a different e-reader or just plan to borrow some from your local library.

Is Cyber Monday a good time to buy Kindle Unlimited?

Cyber Monday is an incredible occasion to get Kindle Unlimited. Outside of this time of year, the service typically costs $12 a month, but for a limited time, it's only $1 for three months. Even if you only manage to read a single book during that period, you've already gotten your money's worth.

If you miss this deal, the next time I expect we'll see a deal this good is during Prime Day next year.

Why can't I see the Kindle Unlimited deal?

If you've clicked through our links and can't see the deal, double-check that you're logged into your Amazon account. While you don't need an Amazon Prime subscription to use Kindle Unlimited, you do need an Amazon account with a current, valid payment method.
