Prime Day kicks off tomorrow, June 21, and runs through June 22 — but you can already get your hands on some amazing early Prime Day deals. In the run-up to Prime Day, you’ll find great deals on the Kindle range of e-readers from Amazon, but if you’re an avid reader, you’re going to love this deal. Amazon has dropped the price of a Kindle Unlimited subscription. You’d normally pay $10 a month to access the service, but with this deal you can get your first two months for just $5, saving you a massive 75%.

Kindle Unlimited is like a lending library, but for e-books. With a subscription, you get access to over one million e-books, as well as a huge range of audiobooks and magazine subscriptions. You can check out up to 10 e-books, comic books, or audiobooks at any one time — and there are plenty of magazines to choose from too. Borrow books as often as you like — there’s no due date for returning them, so no late fees. Whether you’re after a romance title, a beach read, the latest crime thriller, or an audiobook for your trip, the Kindle Unlimited catalog has something for you. It’s also a great way to discover new authors, as many of the books included in the subscription are by self-published, indie authors you may never have heard of.

The best bit? You don’t even need a Kindle to access Kindle Unlimited. You can read Kindle books through any of the best e-book readers you may like or through the iOS or Android app on your smartphone or tablet, or even on your computer. The app is free to download and saves your place so you can quickly pick up where you left off.

Usually priced at $10 per month, you can grab your first two months of Kindle Unlimited subscription for just $5 if you sign up today at Amazon. After this, the subscription auto-renews at $10 per month, but you won’t be charged if you decide to cancel before the auto-renewal date — although we doubt you’ll want to. This is an amazing deal that’s perfect for all your summer holiday reading, so don’t miss out! Snap it up today before it sells out.

Prime Day in October: Get a pack of 12 AA rechargeable batteries for $18

AmazonsBasics AA batteries being inserted into a game controller.

As much as we try to avoid it, sometimes, you just have to buy those pesky household items you never want to spend money on. But if you're lucky, you can take advantage of some excellent discounts, like Prime Day deals, which provide the perfect opportunity to stock up. Amazon's Prime Day Big Deal Days event makes those discounts even sweeter. While we are close to an AA-battery-free world, it hasn't happened yet. Fortunately, we have a rechargeable option to spend less money and throw fewer batteries into landfills. Right now, you can get a 12-pack of Amazon Basic rechargeable batteries for just $18, thanks to a 10% discount on Prime Day. This deal will likely only stick around during the sale, so if your battery drawer is running low, grab them as soon as possible.

Why you should buy Amazon AA rechargeable batteries during the Prime Day Big Deal Days sale
Of course, there's not much I can tell you about batteries that you don't already know. These Amazon Basics brand AAs have a 2,000 mAh storage capacity. That's lower than a traditional alkaline battery, but it has enough power to last for a good three to four hours of continuous use. Then the rechargeable factor comes in. You can recharge these batteries about 1,000 times before they die out. Think about how many batteries it will save you -- and how much money. Let's do some quick napkin math. 1,000 recharges... alkaline batteries cost around one-third the price of a rechargeable... factor in the difference in storage capacity... It could be as much as $300 in savings over a single battery's lifetime. A lot less waste too.
