If I were doing it, I'd use books and shipping as a bonus to videos to get people to switch from Netflix to Prime. Then when it's fairly established, I'd see about spinning off the books, creating Prime Video (w/ shipping) and Prime Books (w/ shipping). But first, video content needs to be beefed up quite a bit in order to compete with Netflix.
