I have Amazon Prime, and I take advantage of the free shipping a lot, but I haven't really watched any of the streamed video they offer.

I had Amazon Prime for the shipping. Their instant videos were garbage, and policy of letting you "borrow" a book once a month was just silly, not sure if they have improved that at all but the free shipping was totally worthwhile :)

Yes. Use it for shipping frequently; probably at least weekly. And I use the Amazon music cloud or w/e it's called.

I haven't taken advantage of the video streaming much.

I use it frequently enough that the free shipping pays for the cost of the service. Then the streaming is even more value for me.

I've been a Prime member pretty much since it's inception. I do occasionally watch the instant video stuff. I just watch "It Might Get Loud" last night... I also 'buy' some new TV series there. That's how I am watching (or going to watch) Revolution. It's also how I watch(ed) Eureka and Warehouse 13. You purchase the full season, and they download to your queue the night after their initial prime-time showing.

I don't think I've actually ever purchased anything from Amazon.

I've never really found it to be a compelling site.

I use it for the free shipping. At this point, there's not really anything Prime has that Netflix doesn't, at least not that I want to watch.

I do buy things from both Amazon Instant Video and iTunes, depending on which is cheaper.

So you can borrow a book for a month or you can borrow one book a month?

I am trying to figure out if I should keep my silly little story in the KDP Select program as I do get paid when someone borrows it. Vs. Taking it out and letting anyone with an E-reader buy it. Right now it is Kindle only.

I used it for 3 days when I ordered my tablet to get quick shipping... but I don't order enough from Amazon to make it worth my while...
