Free Amazon: Every Freebie in 2026
Amazon's freebies are fewer than its ads suggest. The real ones: a baby registry welcome box for Prime members once $10 has been bought from the registry, a free First Reads Kindle book each month with Prime, hundreds of Kindle books priced at $0.00 that anyone can download, and 6 months of Prime for $0 for students and 18-24 year-olds. Other free trials are left out here, since they turn into paid plans.

Get the most from Amazon
- For the welcome box, registry purchases by guests count toward the $10, not just your own.
- On free Kindle books, check the price says $0.00 before you tap. A "Read for Free" button is a Kindle Unlimited or Prime Reading borrow, not a free copy you keep.
- The First Reads list changes on the 1st, so pick before the month ends or that month's books are gone.
