Why Amazon Prime?


I've been an Amazon Prime member for about three years. My wife and I found ourselves ordering textbooks for our daughters, water filters for our refrigerator, bottled water (because we're too lazy to carry it), cell phone cases, shoes, jewelry, and lord knows what else from Amazon, and the shipping alone makes the $99 Amazon Prime membership ($49-per-year program for students) well worth the investment. Prime members get free two-day express shipping on almost everything on the website, with some items now available overnight at no additional charge. The logistics are insane.

But we discovered there is so much more for less than $10 a month! Amazon Prime Video offers literally thousands of movies and TV shows at no additional cost on over 200 devices. As of this writing, Prime members can stream the entire Indiana Jones catalog, almost every James Bond movie ever made, endless documentaries and children's movies, and television series including 24, Downton Abbey, Sex in the City, Blue Bloods, The Wire, and more. This wide selection of television shows and movies keeps my family from missing cable. And it's all COMMERCIAL-FREE. Watch as much as you want whenever you want.

Plus, some cable-only shows like Humans, The Newsroom, and The Sopranos are available for as little as $2.99 an episode, in full, commercial-free 1080 HD. Still much less than a $100/month cable bill for hundreds of channels you'll never watch.

And... you can store unlimited photos in Amazon's Cloud storage for free as a prime member. That's a great way to back up your digital photos. Plus, now there's Amazon Music, giving Prime members access to more than a million songs, albums and customized playlists, all with ZERO advertisements. The Prime Music catalog is consistently being updated and is available on any Amazon-compatible device (PCs, smartphones, and almost any tablet).

When you cut your cords and dump your dishes, be sure to check out Amazon's Prime. You can get a free trial here: http://amzn.to/2kxQs2r
