I heart Amazon prime

Post by -pele1026 »

Why I love Amazon prime? Aside from the free two day shipping, loads, and loads, and loads of useless but amazing product, reviews to help you decide whether you are getting something awesome for dirt cheap, or if something so costly will not barely resemble what you saw online, and the biggest seller for me was the books. I love to read but hate to buy a book that everyone raves about and be disappointed. My house is already filled with books my husband and I have read. I tried borrowing books from the library but good books are usually checked out and I usually forget to bring them back. So with a limitless library bookshelf, I love to read a beautifully written ebook by an author who desperately needs and deserves an audience. Therefore, my mission is to expose these great stories to others.

I enjoy the fact that they offer a trial period, and that they offer a discount price for students. I think Amazon is very generous in that aspect. The great services they offer to members are very ample.

I'm obsessed with Amazon Prime. It made my holiday shopping so much easier and it gave me a free 90 day audible trial so I got to listen to many audiobooks :)

I share your love of Prime!! I use my free shipping more than I'd like to admit. The book choices are amazing though. They provide a bigger selection than you would even find in your big name brand book stores.

I have Amazon Prime and loved their TV version of The Man in the High Castle. I do wish it included Kindle Unlimited, though!

I have used Amazon Prime for my holiday shopping for the last 5 years. I absolutely love being able to download content right to my kindle! Its amazing! I do wish it included Unlimited but hoping for that in the future.

We just got Amazon prime a couple of months ago and I love it also. I order most of my books from them, and I like to read the reviews on products before I buy them. (It is surprising how often I agree with what other people have reported.) We primarily got it for the free shipping, but now we have access to more TV programing, so I rarely lack for something to do.

The only downer with Prime is that they are not forthcoming with the fact that you can only "borrow" one book a month. I bought it and then found that out. As a reader, my heart was broken :)

I will never give up my Prime account. Often times there are so many books on Unlimited that I'd love to read. The benefits far outweigh the price... Also, I may have had a student account for the past few years so I've gotten it discounted.
