Amazon Prime

The key to accessing Amazon's Cloud Services is your Amazon account. A
standard Amazon account enables you to manage your Kindle Fire device
(more on that in Chapter 3, "Using Amazon's Manage Your Kindle Page") and
to purchase books, music, and much more. To get the full value from your
Kindle Fire, however, consider upgrading to an Amazon Prime account.
An Amazon Prime account costs $79 per year. For that price, you get the
following:
• Prime Instant Videos: Unlimited, instant streaming of more than 40,000
movies and television shows. You can watch on your Kindle Fire or on
any other Internet-connected TV or game machine you own.
• Kindle Lending Library: You can check out one book per month from
the Kindle Lending Library catalog without any due dates and load it on
your Kindle Fire. The Kindle Lending Library has more than 350,000 titles,
so you're sure to find something to read each month.
• Free two-day shipping: When you shop for material goods on the
Amazon site, you get free two-day shipping on most items. One-day
shipping costs only $3.99 per item for eligible purchases. The Amazon
Store sells everything from toys to food to clothing, so it's easy to see a
return on your $79 Prime membership investment if you frequently shop
online.
