Want to read more books? Kindle is offering three months of free membership as part of the Amazon Book Sale. Normally priced at $11.99 per month, you’ll save $35.97. Despite the name, a Kindle Unlimited account doesn’t require a Kindle. Enjoy over 4 million digital titles on your phone, tablet, or Kindle e-reader. Access best-selling books, new popular series, and all classic works in multiple formats (even audiobooks). Three months is plenty of time to try it out before deciding whether to continue your membership and pay the monthly fee.
If you want to take your reading habits even further, combine your free 3-month Kindle Unlimited membership with the new Kindle Scribe. Also, as part of the Amazon Book Sale, Kindle Scribe (16GB, Basic Pen Version) is on sale for just $239.99. That’s $100 off, matching the lowest price ever. As Mashable’s Alex Perry pointed out in his review, the Kindle Scribe isn’t a perfect device. However, by including a stylus that allows you to mark up books to your heart’s content, it successfully bridges the gap between traditional and electronic reading.

Do you need a laptop that you can use for everyday tasks without spending a lot of money? The ASUS Vivobook Go 12 is an affordable laptop that weighs just over 2 pounds and has a variety of features to help you work and play on the go. It is a product of. It lasts up to 12 hours on a single charge, can be laid flat for sharing thanks to its 180-degree hinge, and includes a touchpad that doubles as a number pad. The specs aren’t top-notch (Intel Celeron N4500 processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD), but this isn’t a laptop for heavy-duty tasks anyway. As of May 9th, it’s on sale for just $179.99. This is a 22% savings for him and the first price drop since launch.
Apple’s ultra-expensive AirPods Max are back at their Black Friday price of $449.99. This isn’t the lowest price ever, and that honor will go to the $429 deal from September 2022, but it’s still a significant discount of $99. AirPods Max, launched in late 2020, was praised by former Mashable tech reporter Branda Stolyar for their “excellent audio quality, easy-to-use controls, and excellent battery life.” They can have some fit issues and be difficult to wear for hours at a time, but if they fit snugly on your nose, you can’t go wrong.
