According to the deal terms on Amazon, you can only take advantage of this promotion if you're a new subscriber. So if you've ever had a Kindle Unlimited subscription connected to your Amazon account, then you can't get the $0.99 deal. And while you can cancel at any time, nce the three-month promotional trial has ended, you'll be automatically charged the full $11.99 for the subscription. There isn't a clear end date on this deal, but seeing as it's part of Amazon's Black Friday sale my guess would be that it ends on December 1 when the rest of the discounts expire.
Is a Kindle Unlimited Worth It?
I wouldn't necessarily recommend Kindle Unlimited for everyone. It's only really worth the monthly cost if you're actually going to be reading a lot of books. And even then you need to make sure the books you want to read are actually available with Kindle Unlimited. It's particularly great for me because I read a ton of LitRPG books and almost all of them are included with my subscription. But a lot of new releases, like Sunrise on the Reaping or Dan Brown's Secret of Secrets, aren't available with Kindle Unlimited. If you're hesitant to sign up for a subscription, I'd suggest taking a look at the full list of what's included with Unlimited.
It's also worth noting that multiple people can use your Kindle Unlimited account at any given time. I read a lot more than my wife, but she will borrow the occasional romantasy novel (like the Fourth Wing series). You can borrow up to 20 books, audiobooks, or comics on your account at any given time.
Buying a Kindle E-reader Will Also Get You Kindle Unlimited
You don't need a Kindle to use Kindle Unlimited, you just need to download the app on your phone or any reading tablet. However, if you do buy a new Kindle you can get three months of Kindle Unlimited for free instead of spending $0.99. All you need to do is choose the option to activate your free trial with your purchase and it will come included with your device. The same rules apply, which means you can't get the three months free if you've had a Kindle Unlimited subscription before.
