There are a lot of benefits that come with an Amazon Prime membership. Most people are familiar with the two-day shipping and Prime Video streaming, but there’s more. Did you know you also have access to a catalog of free eBooks? What Is Prime Reading? Amazon’s free-with-Prime eBook program is called Prime Reading. You can think of it as a private library for Prime members. The catalog includes more than 1,000 rotating books and magazines, and even some free audiobooks. Just like a real library, you’re technically borrowing the books. You’re also limited to 10 titles at a time. When you’re finished with a book, if you try to add a new one when your library is full, you’ll be prompted to return one first. Another benefit of Prime Reading is a program called Amazon First Reads. This gives Prime members a sneak peek at books from certain authors before they’re released to the public.

You get one of these each month. You can explore the Prime Reading catalog on the Amazon website in a web browser. Make sure you’re signed in to your Amazon Prime account. The other place you can explore Prime Reading is the Amazon Kindle app. It’s available for iPhones, iPads, Android devices, Windows PCs, and Mac. It also comes preinstalled on Fire tablets. In the Kindle app, you’ll see the "Prime Reading" section on the home page. Tap "See All" to explore the full catalog. As we covered above, there are a number of ways you can browse the "Prime Reading" catalog. Wherever you happen to be looking, simply select a title to see its product page. On the product page, you’ll see the Kindle eBook listed as free for Prime members. Click or tap "Read for Free" or "Read and Listen for Free." The latter means there’s also an audiobook. The eBook will then be added to your Amazon account, and you can download it to read on your Kindle or in the Amazon Kindle app. If a free eBook includes an audiobook, it will be added to your Audible account automatically. You can download the Audible app for iPhone, iPad, or Android, but it’s preinstalled on Fire tablets. You can also control your audiobooks with voice commands on Echo devices. Prime Reading might not have the biggest library or the most features, but it’s a nice little perk. If you want even more eBook options, you can subscribe to Kindle Unlimited for $9.99 per month.

King's success as a performer in her own right did not come until the 1970s, when she sang her own songs, accompanying herself on the piano, in a series of albums and concerts. After experiencing commercial disappointment with her debut album Writer, King scored her breakthrough with the album Tapestry, which topped the U.S. 15 weeks in 1971 and remained on the charts for more than six years. King has made 25 solo albums, the most successful being Tapestry, which held the record for most weeks at No. 1 by a female artist for more than 20 years. Her record sales were estimated at more than 75 million copies worldwide.
She has won four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a performer and songwriter. She is the recipient of the 2013 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, the first woman to be so honored. She is also a 2015 Kennedy Center Honoree.
