So I received the new Kindle Fire HD for my Birthday. Incredibly easy to operate.

Simple question: Should I get an Amazon Prime membership?

Or should I just buy stuff as I go without the membership. Do the savings add up to the $80 a year fee, or is it only worth it if you plan on watching a lot of shows on it?

Thanks for the input.

I cancelled netflix and have Amazon Prime, totally worth it in my opinion. You get streaming movies and shows plus 2 day free shipping.

I think Prime is worth it for the free 2-day shipping. You can buy virtually everything on there (laundry detergent, etc).

The TV/Movies are a bonus, but their selection is terrible.

We have Prime and it is definitely worth it. We only pay $40/year since my wife is a student, but it is worth it at full price.

I have Prime. I would renew it. I like the movie selection and love the free 2 day shipping.

Prime is def worth it. I currently still have netflix, but I will be cancelling soon. And the 2 day shipping is very handy

There hasn't been a show i've wanted to watch they haven't had.

Hope this helps.
