Kindle Prime: Good or Bad?

[LynnHardy]

I've been looking into the Kindle Prime options, both as a reader and as an author. As a reader, well, to me, the 2nd day shipping isn't worth the $80 a year, but they are also offering one free Kindle book a month.

Anyone part of Kindle Prime - as a reader or an Author? What's your take on it?

I do not like it. Some people can only afford the free books. When they find one there's always the prime price and then the amount you have to pay.

As far as I'm aware if you sign up for Kindle Prime in the UK you don't even get the free monthly books, so to me it really doesn't seem worth it for any UK based amazon customers.

I personally love Amazon Kindle Prime. Besides the usefulness of the free 2 day shipping, there are usually many free books to choose from on Prime. I find it to be very worth the money with all you can get for free. If you're worried about the cost, you can also look into a trail version to try it out for free and sometimes Amazon has promotions for discounted Prime Rates. I couldn't live without Amazon and the Prime feature is great because I often read books I normally wouldn't because they were free on Prime.

I like the prime program . I find the fast shipping to work out really well- a major plus for last minute holiday shoppers. I enjoy the large selection of authors, it seems I always find something new to read . Prime also gives you access to free movies and tv shows The only downside I have found is I wish you could read and return as many books as you like in a month.

I love the prime membership as well because of the free books and the free kid channels and such. i have a three year old and he loves to watch dora and such on it for free.
