Double the Points Double the Family History Fun: Kindle Rewards 2x Points Event, April 3rd Only

Okay, friends, gather ’round because your favorite genealogy deal-hunter has some genuinely exciting news, and it arrived right on time for Easter weekend. Amazon is running a Kindle Rewards 2x points event on Friday, April 3, 2026, and it is exactly as good as it sounds. One day. Double the points. Consider it your Easter basket from Jeff Bezos, except instead of plastic grass and stale Peeps, you get actual value.

If you have been sleeping on the Amazon Kindle Rewards loyalty program, this is your wake-up call. Every time you buy eligible Kindle books, you rack up points you can use toward future purchases. It is one of those programs where, once you start paying attention to it, you will wonder why you were not paying attention to it sooner. And on April 3rd, whatever points you would normally earn on eligible Kindle purchases, you earn twice that. One day only. Do not snooze on this.

Now here is where I have to be both a deal blogger AND a shameless author for a moment, because those two identities are colliding beautifully this week.

I have written nearly 50 books and cheat sheets on Amazon Kindle, and almost every single one of them is about genealogy and technology. We are talking research guides, software tutorials, DNA research guides, beginner roadmaps for getting started with family history, and deep-dive cheat sheets for tools like Ancestry, FindMyPast, FamilySearch, and more. If you have ever stared at a genealogy website and thought “there has to be a better way to use this thing,” there is probably a book of mine that answers that exact question.

So yes, I am absolutely suggesting that April 3rd is a wonderful day to stock up on genealogy Kindle books. Mine included. But honestly, the entire Kindle genealogy catalog on Amazon is worth a browse. There are fantastic authors covering every corner of family history research, from Southern U.S. records to Irish genealogy, from Jewish family history to African American research, from beginner guides to seriously nerdy DNA analysis. Whatever your brick wall ancestor is hiding behind, there is a good chance a Kindle book can help you knock it down.

Here is my very practical suggestion for how to spend your April 3rd: wake up, pour yourself a coffee, open up Amazon Kindle, and go shopping. Start with my books if you want a guide to the genealogy tools you are already using every day. Then browse the broader genealogy section and see what jumps out. You will be earning double Kindle Rewards points on eligible purchases the whole time, which means every book you buy is quietly building credit toward your next book. It is the genealogy research equivalent of a perpetual motion machine, and I am here for it.

A few things worth keeping in mind as you shop: the 2x points event is for one day only, Friday April 3rd, so do not bookmark this article and come back Saturday. Kindle Rewards points apply to eligible purchases, so keep an eye on what qualifies. And Kindle books are delivered instantly to your device or app, which means you could genuinely start reading a new genealogy guide before your Easter ham even comes out of the oven.

I have been an Amazon Associate for years, and I recommend deals on here because they are genuinely good deals, full stop. This one qualifies. If you love family history research and you read on Kindle, there is no reason to skip April 3rd.

Ready to shop? Head over to Amazon and browse genealogy Kindle books, including my full author catalog, through my Amazon Associates link. Load up your Kindle library, earn your double points, and maybe finally crack that brick wall you have been staring at since 2019.

Happy Easter, happy hunting, and happy reading. Your ancestors left a paper trail. Let’s go find it.
