Double Your Kindle Points This Weekend — and Relax With a Great Genealogy Book
Here’s some good news heading into the weekend: Amazon Kindle Rewards is running a 2x points event on Friday, March 6 and Saturday, March 7, 2026 only. Two days. That’s it. And honestly, I can’t think of a better excuse to sit back, pour yourself a cuppa, and treat yourself to a genealogy book you’ve been meaning to read.
I know we spend a lot of time in this hobby doing — searching records, uploading DNA results, chasing census images down rabbit holes at midnight. But sometimes the best thing you can do for your research is slow down and read. A good genealogy book can crack open a methodology you’ve never tried, introduce you to a record type you didn’t know existed, or just remind you why you love this work in the first place.
This weekend’s Kindle Rewards double-points event is the perfect reason to do exactly that.
What Is the Kindle Rewards 2x Points Event?
If you’re not already familiar with Amazon Kindle Rewards, it’s Amazon’s loyalty program for Kindle purchases. Every time you buy a qualifying Kindle book, you earn points. Those points add up and can be redeemed for future purchases. During this special two-day event on March 6 and 7, you’ll earn double the usual points on Kindle book purchases.
So if you’ve had a genealogy title sitting in your wish list, this weekend is absolutely the time to grab it. You’ll get the book and bank more points toward your next purchase.
My Kindle Books: Over 40 Resources Just for Genealogists
You may already know that I’ve published nearly 40 Kindle books and cheat sheets through Amazon, and they cover a pretty wide range of topics. Some dig into specific genealogy research strategies. Others focus on the technology side of things — tools, apps, and workflows that help family historians work smarter.
One title I’d especially point you toward this weekend is US Census Records: Reading and Interpreting Records — https://genealogybargains.com/amazon-uscensus. It’s one of those resources I wish I’d had when I was earlier in my genealogy journey. Whether you’re newer to the hobby or a seasoned researcher looking to sharpen a specific skill, it’s the kind of reference you’ll come back to again and again. It’s a great example of what I try to do with all of my Kindle publications: give you something practical and actionable, not just a general overview.
Another one worth grabbing is The Genealogy Do-Over Workbook 2026 — https://genealogybargains.com/amazon-GDO-2026-print. This one is particularly useful if you’re are thinking of a “makeover” for your years of genealogy research and want a clear, concise guide you can reference right from your tablet or phone while you’re in the middle of a research session.
You can browse my full catalog of Kindle books and cheat sheets right here: https://genealogybargains.com/amazon-macentee. With double points this weekend, it’s a great time to pick up a title or two you’ve been curious about.
Don’t Stop There — Explore the Wider World of Genealogy Kindle Books
One of the things I genuinely enjoy about curating content for Genealogy Bargains is pointing people toward resources they might not have found on their own. And Amazon’s Kindle store has a remarkable selection of genealogy titles beyond my own catalog.
Whether you’re researching a specific ethnic group, diving into a regional record set, trying to understand DNA evidence more deeply, or learning how to use a particular genealogy platform, there’s almost certainly a Kindle book for it. Prices are often very reasonable, you get the book instantly, and you can read it on any device.
With the 2x points event running this Friday and Saturday, this is a genuinely smart time to stock up. Grab a couple of titles, earn more rewards, and give yourself something good to read this weekend.

A Weekend Well Spent
I always say that genealogy is a lifestyle, not just a hobby. And part of living that lifestyle well means investing in your own education and enjoyment. A good book is one of the most affordable ways to do both.
So this weekend: close a few browser tabs, let the DNA results cook a little longer, and pick up a Kindle book that’s been calling your name. The records will still be there Monday. Your family history research will be better for the time you take to learn and recharge.
I hope you find something wonderful to read. And if you grab one of my books, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think. Happy reading, and happy researching.
