Is Amazon Prime worth it?

I've got Amazon Prime, which is a lot cheaper here than in the US, but doesn't have those features you mentioned and want.
And I've got it only for the free and fast shipping (If I order before 6 pm, I get the books etc the next morning)

I got it as some sort of a promotional thing way back in the day. It was free at the time. I'm not actually certain if that promotion was supposed to continue in perpetuity, but I'm not going to inspect this gift horse's mouth too closely.

I did recently think, as Amazon box after Amazon box arrived around Christmas-birthday season (all three of us have birthdays within about a month), that I'd be willing to go ahead and pay for it if I had to.

Their free shipping (with Prime) plus fast delivery is really useful.

You can only get one book a month on kindle from Amazon Prime. If you aren't using the shipping option or the streaming option, that ends up being kinda pricey for getting 12 books a year that you don't own.

Well that's dumb!

I got an email about the "lending library" thing, thought it sounded interesting, made me consider a Kindle in fact. Just went in search of fine print and you're right:

I'm not much into owning books anymore. I gave most of mine away a couple of years ago. I don't want Mo or Mr. B ever forced to wonder what in the hell to do with all of my stuff, I got sick of dusting them, the were taking up tons of space, etc., etc., etc.

The average price I've paid for Kindle books is $13.00, one a month at that price would be nearly double the Prime membership price so it kind of pencils out. I really more worried about selection -- finding things I actually want to read from the list of available books.

The only books I buy anymore are photo books and books for Mo and he really prefers reading them on Kindle than on paper.

They are offering a one month free trial and I'll probably take them up on it.
