With savings up to 80% on e-books and up to 63% on print books, the Amazon Book Sale is the perfect time to grab summer beach reads for cheap, or even cheap Mother's Day gift ideas. We're talking deals on bestsellers from viral BookTok authors like Colleen Hoover, Seraphina Nova Glass, Mary Kubica, and more.
The 2025 sale runs April 23 - 28. Just like Stuff Your Kindle Day, it's a chance to save on your reading list. But you'll find deals from a wider range of genres and authors during the Amazon Book Sale. You don't need Amazon Prime to shop the sale, but Prime membership will get you free shipping if you buy any print books.

No, you don't need to be an Amazon Prime member to shop the sale, but if you order a print book, Prime membership will get you free shipping with no order minimum. You can sign up for Prime here. You also don't need to have Kindle Unlimited to shop the sale, although you can save big on a Kindle Unlimited membership.
