I decided to revive this thread because I saw tghis intersting prediction about a possible subscription plan built on KDP Select:

I have a 2012 prediction.
I think if the Prime program is successful at all for the Fire, it will be tiered at some point this year and that folk will get a base level of service (most likely what they're getting now with the free shipping and single book download), but will also be able to upgrade for $10 more to a Prime Plus status where subscribers get a couple of movie downloads and 2 books per month, and a Prime Gold program for an additional $20 where they get 3 streamed movies and 4 books per month.
Because, you know, the status quo has precious little status in it anymore, and the only thing holding Amazon back from offering such a tiered subscription program last month was lack of content since a lot of the big publishers aren't playing. With 50K+ titles now in the Lending Library, Amazon will have enough of a pool to collate data and make decisions about volume, velocity and costs -- by May is my prediction.
