New Amazon Prime Perks: Free e-books & Twitch streaming perks
Rolled out within the last couple weeks, Amazon is adding onto the existing set of Prime perks offered by the online retail giant. Most recently, Amazon added the Prime Reading section; a subset of books and magazines that can be read for free.
The collection of titles is roughly over 1,000 and will continue to be rotated out with new reading material from month to month. To access the content, you will have to utilize the Kindle app for iOS or Android. You can also read the material on Amazon’s line of Kindle e-readers and Fire tablets.
This is a separate perk from the Kindle Lending Library, which allows Kindle owners to check-out one book per month from a larger collection of titles. It’s also separate from the Kindle Unlimited e-book subscription service; a $10-per-month option that is like a Netflix for books.
During late September, Amazon launched a new perk for the gaming community. Twitch Prime is a new service that can be joined once you link your Twitch account to your Prime account. Amazon will remove all ads from Twitch and give you a free channel subscription ever 30 days.
On top of that, Twitch users will get exclusive emotes and more chat colors when using the service. Amazon is also include in-game loot for specific games as well as early access to some titles, another add-on if you have any interest in those specific games.
