# Kindle Magazines and Newspapers

You can subscribe to magazines or newspapers from the Kindle Store on Fire and Kindle devices, supported Kindle reading apps, and the Amazon website.

All subscriptions include at least a 14-day free trial period. You can cancel at any time during your trial and you will not be charged. If you don't cancel, your subscription will continue at the current price using your default 1-Click payment method. You can cancel a paid subscription at any time. You need a credit card to purchase subscriptions.

Device availability and frequency of delivery are indicated on the product detail pages of magazines and newspapers. Your device needs a wireless connection to receive subscription content automatically.

## Manage Your Subscription Settings

Kindle magazines and newspapers are offered in either annual or monthly subscriptions. Annual subscriptions auto-renew at the end of the subscription period until you cancel. Monthly subscriptions auto-renew every month until you cancel.

Go to Manage Newsstand Subscription Settings to learn more about managing your subscriptions.

## Download Past Issues from the Cloud

Past issues of your Kindle magazines and newspapers are stored and available to download again from the Cloud, even if you cancel your subscription.

1. Go to MYCD and select your subscription type (magazine/newspaper,) from the dropdown menu.
2. Select the Actions button next to the subscription name, and select either Deliver past issue to my… to deliver an issue wirelessly, or Download and transfer past issue via USB to transfer via USB.
3. Select the issue you want to deliver, and then choose a device to which you’d like the issue delivered.
4. Select Deliver.

## Kindle Subscription Formats and Special Content

Magazines and newspapers come in a variety of formats in the Kindle Store. Many magazines and newspapers include video, audio, slideshows, and more. Some newspaper and magazine titles deliver content through an app.
