If there’s one thing I check more consistently than my bank balance, it’s the 99p Kindle deals.
When you use a Kindle, you lose the joy of finding a cheap book in a second hand bookshop. The Kindle daily and monthly deals are the closest I get to that. For digital books, I refuse to pay full price if I don’t have to. I’ve always found it slightly offensive to pay £10 for a digital file I don’t technically “own,” so I wait for the price to drop to the cost of a bag of crisps.
Every month I’ll be browsing the Amazon Kindle deals and pulling together the best 99p Kindle book deals – thrillers, romance, non-fiction, hidden gems, the lot. If it’s gripping, highly rated or just too good to ignore for 99p, it’s going on this list.
Why Trust This List?
Because I’m picky. I don’t just throw in everything that’s reduced; I look for the big-name authors sneaking into the sale and books with ratings that aren’t just padded by the author’s mum.
Occasionally, I might include a book that’s slightly over 99p – but only if it’s an absolute bargain and worth stretching for.
About May’s amazon kindle book deals
If you’re in to romance or fantasy, there are some great 99p book deals this May! I’m not much of a romance reader but I was very excited to see Guns, Germs and Steel on a 99p deal as it’s been on my list for a while. I’m also very intrigued by Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman, I’m hoping it lives up to the hype. My personal pick in fiction this month is Scratch Moss by David Barnett, a folklore horror novel.
A quick heads-up
Book prices on Amazon change quickly (sometimes daily), so while everything listed was 99p at the time of updating, I’d recommend snapping up anything you fancy sooner rather than later.
💡 If you’re planning on buying more than 10 of these, Kindle Unlimited is actually cheaper. They almost always have a free trial or a ‘3 months for 99p’ deal running. It’s worth checking the offer before you start spending your 99ps.
💡If you already pay for Amazon Prime delivery, check Prime Reading first. A lot of these 99p titles are actually included for free in your membership. If you aren’t a member, just grab the 30-day free trial, raid the library, and cancel.
