- Rethinking Amazon Prime
- For those who don’t know, Amazon Prime is a membership program which gives members unlimited free two-day shipping on millions of items on Amazon.com and instant access to over 40,000 hit movies and TV episodes streamed directly you TV, computer, or tablet.
- The benefits of my Amazon Prime membership are clear. Recently, when Amazon Prime increased its annual fee by $20, it made me stop and examine how I use it. I found some negatives.
- It’s too easy.
- Amazon Prime is too good at tempting me.
- I’m weak.
- It’s a family affair.
