What differentiates Kindles from similar e-readers? For one, all Kindle models offer parental controls. You can subscribe to get access to the Kindle Unlimited library, or choose from a selection of free books as an Amazon Prime subscriber. Plus, use your Kindle to listen to audiobooks on Audible via Bluetooth speakers or headphones.

You can buy books individually for a Kindle, but devoted readers might want to consider a subscription to Kindle Unlimited, a premium service that offers unlimited access to more than 1 million books and audiobooks, plus three magazine subscriptions of your choice for $9.99 per month. Start a free 30-day trial to find the "Harry Potter" books, People magazine and so much more.
