One of the great things about using a Kindle is the added benefits that come with it, especially for Amazon Prime members. These include access to a rotating collection of free e-books each month and a Kindle Rewards program, currently in beta, which lets users earn points when they buy books on Amazon. These points can later be used to save money on Kindle book purchases.
Until recently, redeeming those points wasn’t the most user-friendly experience. Readers had to visit a separate Kindle Rewards page to see what they had earned and to use their points. But that’s now changing for the better. According to Good e-Reader, Amazon has started showing Kindle Rewards details directly on the product pages of eligible books, right beneath the “Buy” button.
This update shows two key pieces of information at a glance: how many points you already have available, and how many you’ll earn with the next purchase. It’s a simple change, but one that makes a big difference for users who want to keep track of their rewards without extra steps.
Earning and Redeeming Points — Now Simpler Than Ever
The way the program works is straightforward: for every $1 you spend on eligible books, you earn 3 Kindle Rewards points. When you collect 300 points, you can redeem them for $3 in credit toward Kindle purchases. While that may not sound like much — you essentially spend $100 to save $3 — it’s still a helpful perk, especially for avid readers who regularly buy books from Amazon.
The key takeaway here is that rewards are now much more visible. Instead of guessing or navigating away from the book page, you’ll see your rewards balance and the potential points you’ll earn right where you’re already shopping. While this new feature isn’t available in the Amazon app just yet, it does appear on desktop and mobile browsers.
A Small Update with Big Convenience
This change might seem small, but it’s part of a broader push by Amazon to improve the user experience and bring more polish to its services, just as its CEO promised. Even though the Kindle Rewards program is still in beta, updates like this one show that Amazon is listening to feedback and making it easier for customers to enjoy the benefits that come with their purchases.
So if you’re someone who buys a lot of Kindle books or physical books from Amazon, you’ll now have an easier way to keep track of your rewards and use them more effectively — no need to jump between pages. Every time you shop, you’ll know exactly how much you’re earning and how close you are to your next discount.
