The 2018 Kindle Paperwhite 4 comes with six months of free Kindle Unlimited. You can redeem the offer even if you’re already subscribed.

The best thing about this limited time offer is that not only new but also current Kindle Unlimited subscribers can take advantage of the deal.

After redeeming the offer, the subscribers will simply not be charged for six months. Automatic renewals will be temporarily suspended for the duration of the promotional period.

If you are subscribed to one of Kindle Unlimited pre-paid plans (no matter whether it’s 6, 12, or 24-month subscription), the free plan will start when your current prepaid plan ends.

Adding Kindle Unlimited to your Kindle Paperwhite 4 is extremely simple.

It’s important that you follow the steps shown above. If you join Kindle Unlimited via the sign-up page, you won’t take advantage of the Kindle Paperwhite + Kindle Unlimited bundle.

You should redeem the Kindle Unlimited offer by 11:59 pm Pacific Time, on January 31, 2019. You should order the Paperwhite a few days earlier, to make sure you’ll have it by that day.

You can redeem the Kindle Unlimited offer only once with one Amazon account. Each link is for one-time use only.
