Amazon Prime membership benefits

Amazon Shipping: We all know about the OG perk, free shipping, now that includes Free Same Day and Free Two Day shipping.

Amazon Reading: For all of us bookworms out there, this is probably the most impressive one included. With Amazon Reading, you get access to hundreds of titles, everything from the Classics, to Steamy Romances and Murder Mysteries. To use your Amazon reading you simply login into your Amazon account on your eReader or download the Free Kindle App and start reading right from your laptop.

Prime Video: This has become the most popular benefit. Prime Video (formally Amazon Prime Video) has tons of content with more than 26,300 movies and 2,700 TV shows. It has one of the largest streaming libraries available. There is always something for everyone in the family whether it be one of Amazon’s Originals, a childhood favorite, or a horror to send shivers down your spine. You can also add the Amazon Channels at extra cost.

Amazon Music: This gives you access to millions of songs, curated playlists, and top podcasts all ad-free, though you have limited ability to skip songs and are unable to download music to listen to offline. With Amazon Music Unlimited you are able to skip through and choose your songs as you please, Amazon Music Unlimited is an additional $8.99/month and with it, you are able to download music and listen offline.

Prime Early Access: This perk seems to be one that nobody seems to remember. With your Amazon Prime membership, you get access to deals 30 minutes before those without a membership, giving you an edge when it comes to bargain hunting on Amazon.
