GET A FREE E-BOOK WITH PRIME: As of April 1, Amazon Prime members can snag a free e-book as part of the Amazon First Reads program. Not a Prime member? You can still grab First Reads e-books for just $1.99.
Prime membership basically pays for itself with all the free next-day shipping you receive on orders, so the extra benefits are truly just extra. For book loving members, the best monthly benefit is the Amazon’s First Reads program. Like Book of the Month, there’s a new selection of books hand-picked by Amazon’s editors for members to grab at a discount. However, unlike Book of the Month, you can pick an e-book at no cost to you.
Each month, Prime Members can pick one book from the First Reads selection that’s added to their Kindle library. On the first of the month, the picks are refreshed, so April 1st brings eight new books and one bonus short story ready to be devoured. In April, there’s an abundance of thrillers available, including The Undoing of Alejandro Velasco by Diego Boneta, The Boomerang by Robert Bailey, and Three Mothers by Hannah Beckerman.

Plus, there’s a new release from Mindy Kaling’s book studio this month: When Stars Align by Melissa de la Cruz, a coming-of-age story about three darlings of Hollywood and the toll of fame.
Amazon Prime members can select one book for free among the First Reads picks. Non-members can still get in on the fun and pay just $1.99 per book. Choose your First Reads book today and start reading on a Kindle device or the Kindle app.
