Amazon has been a busy company for the previous couple months. They’ve been enhancing the standard of their services. Providing extra to their Amazon Prime Members and making ready to launch some nice new variations of their widespread eBook reader.
Over the previous two months, Amazon has:

However Amazon was not able to say “adequate” to all of that they’ve completed. They’d extra to supply for his or her Amazon Prime members.
Amazon Prime membership was already a great deal. For a easy $79 membership payment, the Amazon Prime member will obtain :
- Free two Day transport.

They provide a lot I nearly really feel like Renee Zelleweger from, “Jerry McGuire”. “You had me at Hi there, Amazon, you had me at Hi there!”
In some way, Amazon has managed to pack much more into the Amazon Prime Membership, with out even elevating the price of membership.
Now Amazon provides what they name the, “Kindle Lending Library“. This new service is a approach for Amazon Prime members to “borrow” books from different members and browse them at no cost.
Right here is the way it works: Individual A purchases a e-book from Amazon and marks it free for sharing. That’s all Individual A must do. From that time on, Individual B, C, D (and so forth.) can learn that e-book at no cost and Amazon retains monitor of the small print.
In fact, there are limits, or Amazon would by no means promote books once more. You possibly can solely have one “borrow” at a time. When you get a brand new one, the old “borrow” goes away. There may be additionally a restrict of 1 e-book that may be borrowed monthly.
So successfully, assuming the books you need to learn are shared by others, this provides you 12 free eBooks to learn every year. Assuming common eBook costs of $9.99, which means this characteristic alone is price $120 a yr to the Kindle proprietor. Not unhealthy in any respect. All you pay is $79 {dollars} to get a $120 worth in free eBooks, hundreds of free movies and TV downloads and free and/or diminished worth for transport. Amazon actually appears to know how you can pack some worth into their Amazon Prime Membership.
In a time when some firms are attempting to determine how you can cost you extra Amazon appears to be making an attempt to determine a methods to provide you extra. A refreshing change!
