I am doing the free trial of Amazon Prime. I used to have it in grad school (and it helped so much to get books quickly!), but is it worth paying for Prime for the Kindle? I would appreciate your opinions, everyone. Thanks!
YES. If not on your Kindle, your books are always in the cloud, immediately available for you to download to your Kindle.kindlematt said:Ann, good point. Also, if I delete a book from my Kindle, it automatically stays on the Amazon Cloud?
Yes - IF you bought it from Amazon. If you got it from some other source like Project Gutenberg, etc, it won't be backed up in the Cloud/Archives unless you download to your computer and use "Send to Kindle" to get it to your Kindle (or email it to your Kindle). If you use the Send to Kindle app, be sure you have it set to keep documents you send backed up in the Cloud/Archives.kindlematt said:Ann, good point.

How does this work? I've been ordering for my mom and just letting her pay me back, but this would be more convenient.wvpeach said:Also per the policy on Prime I was able to invite my son and his wife to join my Prime benefits. They don't get the streaming or the book loans but they do get the free 2 day shipping and that makes the service even more worthwhile for my family.
This is true for the free Student Prime, but after the freebie runs out you get full benefits for half the price.mooshie78 said:Unless they've changed it the student Prime accounts only included the shipping and not the Kindle lending library or streaming videos.
