Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? I may be canceling my Amazon Prime membership. Amazon has introduced their own delivery service called Amazon Logistics or AMZL for short. Along with this service they've also introduced a service for Amazon Prime members called

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? Amazon Prime also gives you access to the Kindle Library. As far as I know, this lets you rent as many books as you want. I don't know this for sure, as I don't think Prime is worth the money currently.Dark, your Echo Dot has a 3.5mm

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? I don't really watch enough to make netflicks worth the investment, so if amazon prime does have description that would be nice, though generally it's dvds for me. As for radios, mine isn't that old g-rad, it's about 16 years old

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? Hi.I hear the video streaming service has just got audio described videos as well. But I don't know the audio described content compared to Netflix, which is really great. I can't speak for easier access to the audio described content

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? Well radio streaming is another area that is mildly disappointing. there is a bbc skill that can stream most bbc radio, which is handy since we like the news on radio four, however the radio station my lady and I listen to most

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? Thanks Orko, we did eventually get it to play, but between the annoyence the proclivity of amazon to default to pop type crap and above all the fact that the dot's speaker isn't great anyway i think I'll just leave this one, since

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? The dot has a line out jack on it, or so I thought it did, it says it does...   You can also get it to stream radio stations, which I found to be nice, especially for listening to sporting events.  But with Prime, yes, the discounts

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? I've had that problem with playing music and have given up on it. I use the Echo to stream local or Amazon music stations, and my Victor Reader Trek when I want to hear specific tracks or albums.But if anyone wants to mess

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it?

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? good idea, I've had prime for years and it pays for itself pretty fast with my buying habits. Also, not sure if you use the Kindle, but I think prime can either get you the Kindle Monthly membership for a reduced price or for free

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? Well  I've taken the plunge, at least metaphorically. I've used the free trial of prime, and probably will get the year's subscription when it runs out (but hay if Amazon are going to give me a free month who am I to object?. I tend

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it?

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? One thing Amazon will do for Prime members, if you buy digital music or CEDs, they'll make that music available for streaming so you can play it on any of the Echos. The catch is you have to look for a message on the product page

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? You can also do the Prime service monthly if you do not wish to pay it by the  year. Amazon Prime is just £7.99/month. Cancel anytime.The official "long URL"  for prime in the UK (just as a reference for people

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? I did have a look at spotify, but just as Durham university probably wouldn't pay for  prime student membership, I doubt I could get the free spotify student thing either, and besides as I said if I buy music I prefer to actually own

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it?

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? On Prime's two day delivery, understand that that is not a guaranteed delivery time but an estimated delivery time. Amazon does try to deliver your Prime orders within the two day window, but some orders frequently will take longer

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? I might have to look into just exactly what are Pandora and Spotify to see if either might be something I'd want. But that's a topic for another thread. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=343284#p343284

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? I love prime, I cancelled amazon music unlimited though, and went with spotify. I use it a lot, actually, so the price is justified to me. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=343261#p343261

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? I agree with the videos and movie rentals on physical media.  Although I wish there were some titles with AD, such as Spaceballs and Ernest goes to Camp.  Couple of classic favorites for me. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? As I said I don't think the music service will be much good for me, either unlimited or prime  both because of the quality of the dot's speaker, and because I like owning the actual files so I can play them on whatever I like, however

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? I don't know what other benefits you get with prime, but just from a product delivery point of view, I find things I order from Amazon with regular free delivery usually arrive within 3 or 4 days anyway. This isn't as true as it once

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it?

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? I love the Prime services.  The free 2-day shipping is worth it alone, and in some cases, items get shipped and delivered the same day, depending on when you order them during the day.    I also added the Music Unlimited service

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? Oh yeah, if you have an account, you can add several addresses. I've added friends and family addresses for gifting, so it would be no trouble to ship things wherever you wanted them to go.I forgot to mention that added bonus

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? Hmmm, Mirage, the idea of buying none perishable stuff from Amazon hadn't particularly occurred to me, but  just checked a few of the larger, heavier things we buy regularly such as Mrs. Dark's favourite wine and bottles of either

Re: Amazon prime, what does it do, and is it worth it? Amazon Prime is absolutely worth the money, if you buy a lot of things from the site.The free two-day shipping has been a godsend for me, more times than I can count. If you bought one or two things every month, the cost of Prime
