Is the lending library any good? Any new books?

Is the streaming video any good? Would it replace netflix or is it too limited?

TIA

free 2-day shipping is the biggest appeal I thought

its not too hard to figure out the benefit of the 2 day shipping, the other benefits are hard to quantify w/out being a member

I have it and haven't used any of the other features - figured they weren't that great but I need to take a look

Video library is growing a lot

Lending library is pretty good too

I think prime is worth it but I buy a lot of stuff

Apparently lending library only works on the kindle. I use kindle app for iPad and don't get that feature.

Streaming video is ok, but not enough for me to decide to drop Netflix.

2 day shipping is worth it alone.

2 day shipping is good. you can also do next day air for $3.99/item. you'll save a lot of money with that.

I found the video library to overlap with Netflix a lot, especially with TV shows.

My issue with amazon prime is the free 2 day shipping is only allowable on certain, often times more expensive goods. I was excited to get it but felt very disappointed given there were very few items that I could not get for a more inexpensive price by just paying the shipping costs.

Whoops! Also, that picture is much worse. She looks like a slightly more attractive madonna.

I'm pretty sure Amazon prime is distant cousins of Optimus Prime.

Streaming video is worth it if you don't stream Netflix. There's a lot of overlap between the two

Movie selection is pretty bad. Most of the decent movies are available but only for rent. Free streaming selection is quite limited.

Streaming isn't as good as Netflix. So really you have to just ask if $79 a year (or whatever it is now) is worth quicker free shipping to you.
