Amazon has launched a new service for Prime members that will enable them to read as much as they like from a rotating selection of more than 1,000 e-books, magazines and comics.
The Prime Reading service will also offer exclusive short-form reads in the form of stories, memoirs and essays from a variety of writers.
Prime subscribers can start reading from today using the Kindle app for iOS or Android or on a Kindle or Fire tablet.
"Amazon Prime just got even better with the addition of Prime Reading, giving customers unlimited access to over a thousand books, including bestsellers like Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, magazines, and comics for no additional cost,” said Alessio Santarelli, EU Kindle content director at Amazon.
"Prime members will love the range of books now available to them on any device, with everything from psychological thrillers, to business books, the latest travel guides and bestselling fiction."
For those who don't yet subscribe to Prime, Amazon offers a 30-day free trial enabling them to try out Prime Reading.
"Magazines tap into the passions of consumers, there’s something for everyone, whether that’s music, sport, wine, TV, craft or fashion,” said Neil Robinson, Time Inc UK digital director.
“Adding our magazines such as Ideal Home and Woman's Weekly to Prime Reading means we can now offer our engaged readers even more choice, better access to our content and the opportunity to discover even more magazines from a range of different interests."
Prime Reading is the latest in a series of services Amazon has launched for its £79-a-year Prime scubscribers, including Prime Video, Prime Music and Prime Live Events.
