Update 5/3/20: Deal is back (direct link – contains our affiliate). Hat tip to reader Mike
The Offer
- Amazon is running a promotion called ‘Great On Kindle’ for some eBooks titles. Individual accounts are receiving a credit for up to 75% of the book’s cost. For example ‘Becoming’ by Michelle Obama is $14.99 and some users are being offered an $11.24 credit. Some people are seeing a lower credit amount of 25% or 50%.
The Fine Print
- ???
Our Verdict
Interestingly the credit can be used to trigger another credit. It seems that a full list of great on Kindle books can be found here. I love my Kindle, sadly I’m only targeted for a 25% credit.

Not sure why it says deal is back. Great on Kindle has always been available for me although the discount has gone down from about 75% initially (which was awesome) to 10% now. Unless some folks never got it before…
I rolled this over several times, bought 5 books for about 40% total of the retail prices.
I’m seeing 10% only- this is what I get for all the money I spent on Prime day? 😀
Mine was 10%. No previous Kindle purchases (although I did get some classics for free a few years ago).
My credit was 50% when I first discovered this program but it had gone down to 15% when I checked it today. I wonder if the discount is gradually taken away the longer it’s been since your most recent Kindle purchase.
When I first bought my Kindle last Christmas I was consistently getting 75% credit for great on Kindle. Now I am seeing 10%. It may have to do with timing of your device purchase?
not too sure about this, but i just saw multiple non fiction books like Checklist Manifesto, the obesity code etc for 78-90% off
When browsing the Kindle Store yesterday morning, I saw a “Great On Kindle” promo banner advertising a deal I availed myself of: 100% off the $1.99 non-fiction “Great On Kindle” ebook I was eyeing (via two credits I didn’t know I had: one each for 75% and for 25%), plus a $.20 credit toward a future “Great On Kindle” ebook purchase.
Such Shakespearean verse!
I’m only seeing 10%
