Great Read, Great Info!
The e-book “Unlock the Power and Potential of Your Amazon Prime Account” was a great read. In much less than the time it would’ve taken me to create an account and figure out if it was worth it, I was able to learn the ins and outs of the program. Prime has really changed a lot in the past nine years. As a previous subscriber to the service about five years ago (when it was much more limited), I was a bit dubious about its offerings; however, now I see everything how far it has come. The book was also good because it addressed some of the criticisms of Amazon Prime, such as the membership fee raise and the limited availability of books through the Kind Book Borrow feature. Christiansen gave readers the facts and the opportunity to make up their own minds.I really enjoyed learning about all the new features that Amazon Prime has to offer its users. What’s especially great about the book is how it goes into detail about Amazon Mom and Amazon Student. The first of which I’d never even heard of before. Finally, if readers aren’t convinced of Amazon Prime’s utility the author includes a 30-day Free Subscription to Prime itself. I recommend this book for anyone who’s even remotely curious about the service; the worst thing that can happen is that you get access to free shipping for a month!

A mine of information about Amazon Prime
I’m glad I came across this book, not only because it is so informative, but it is a very well written ebook that I came across in a very long time.Coming to the content, the author has taken great pains to really understand the whole process of how Amazon Prime works. For a complete novice like me the book was a great eye opener, I now know about Amazon Prime and I know its precise advantages like free streaming of movies/tv series and reading books from the Kindle Lending Library and its disadvantages like the high membership fees and how most utilities are underused.The best part, while reading this book the pervading feeling I got throughout was that the author was on my side – i.e. the reader’s. How often can you say that about an ebook?As an added bonus the book also gives information about Amazon Mom and Amazon Student and how the members of these 2 sites could benefit from a Prime membership. If you did not know already but the book also informs readers about the 30 day free trial that Prime offers before taking the plunge.The only thing that I felt was a repetition in the book was the information about the disadvantage of lugging children to stores for doing shopping. Apart from that it is certainly worth your precious time.

Book is balanced but misses some pros and cons
Only problem is you didn't mention one significant drawback. If you check the price on Amazon Prime eligible items against what you can get it for elsewhere, you'll find the price on some items is goosed up enough to cover some or all of the cost of shipping. I agree that sometimes I don't care because it's worth it not to have to drive around trying to buy the thing. I also do all my Christmas shopping through Amazon. My family puts everything up on their wishlist a month before. I sit down one morning and in an hour I'm done with my Christmas shopping.

prime or not - that is the question
I have been pondering Prime purchase for some time. This inexpensive few pages gave me all the info I reasonably will need. After similarly pondering on a tablet and finally settling on kindle fire hdx 8.9 (good choice although took me a while to understand some things; Mayday is a great help!) seems I may now be ready for movies on my tablet not to mention free shipping and a book per month. The latter is too few though.

Nice summary
Membership benefits are pretty straightforward, but it's nice to have them summed up. Call me paranoid, but I don't want to miss out on any potential benefits, (even though after trying the streaming video... I'll stick with Netflix for now, thank you very much). The best New thing I learned was the credit I can get toward my next year's membership by opting for the "No-Rush" shipping. Makes the whole deal even sweeter!

Good information
Very well written book. It's full of facts that are very useful if you are not familiar with Amazon Prime or considering getting it. It's nice that it is written in a non biased fashion so one is able to see all sides. I especially appreciated the tidbits about discounts available. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about getting Amazon Prime.

Basic Information.
A very short and basic guide on Prime membership. The best part of this book is that it is short and gets right to the point. Kudos for that! However, the author also forgot to mention that on your Kindle with the Prime membership, one can download free music. This includes singles and albums.

Should Have Been a Blog Post
The information is accurate, and the summary is helpful. However, there is nothing here that cannot readily be found by carefully reading Amazon's own descriptions of Prime membership, and there's not enough content for a book. There's a lot of repetition and statement/restatement of the obvious (i.e. "nobody likes to get ripped off"). Summary: Prime membership is a great investment for some people, a waste of money for others, and has a basic set of features (which can be found if you read what Amazon says it includes). This would have made a great blog post or article. It's a lousy book.

Disabled shopper
Amazon Prime is truly amazing. Thank you for publishing the book that points out all the many uses and benefits of this scheme. My major benefit is that, as a senior citizen , I'm unable to go out to shop much, now I don't need to worry as I have Amazon Prime and a world of shopping at the end of my Amazon bought stylus! Thanks Prime. Betsyboo

Nothing new here
After reading the reviews for this book I thought I would learn things that I didn't know. Sadly there is nothing here that isn't covered by the Amazon website. I am a Prime member and do use it a lot so this guide might be useful to newbies.

Very informative
I chose this book to help me decide if it was worth buying. I am currently using the 30 day trial and wanted to know all the benefits of the membership before I signed up. I now have all the information I need to make an informed decision. anyone considering Prime Membership should read this.
