Based on the price of prime, they’re pulling in like $6-9 billion per year on that. That’s crazy. Of course that goes back into shipping costs but still.

- shostack 9y agoHas the number of things eligible for free prime shipping been dropping or increasing?
- dorgo 9y agoThere is a little known feature of prime: you can read a book (from a selection) for free each 30 days. Theses books cost usually about 4€. 12 * 4€ = 48€. This little offer (which is usually not even advertised as a prime feature) alone almost justifies the cost of a prime membership. Prime is a cost-center for amazon. It's not meant to make money. It is a customer loyality thing.
- swarnie_ 9y agoI've been a prime member for years and didn't know this.... Thank you very much, ill be sure to nickle and dime Amazon for all the value it offers.
