I have both prime and B&N membership. Here are some of my thoughts: 1. Amazon is a terrible place to discover surprising reads. There is one day I was navigating the bookself in Technology sector, and found one book on the story of how Android is created. I didn't know this book exist, but now my interests can't be contained, and I want it NOW. The sense of discovery is awesome, and I am willing to pay for it. 2. B&N membership gives you basically a 10% discount StarBucks (unofficially, but pretty much the same), which is a sweet deal. 3. Amazon sometimes screwed up book versions. For example, I bought book 1&2 of the same series from Amazon, and book 1 arrived in UK format, while book 2 in US. This is an intolerable mistake for me as a collector. So I have to repurchase book 1 later from B&N in US format as I can no longer trust Amazon for it. Overall, B&N now, is more of a socializing place for me than a retailer. I still use Amazon for books I can't find, but I don't mind pay a few more bucks to buy from B&N. Sometimes it is not all about money.
