I signed up for a Prime one-month free trial just before Christmas--mainly because that way I got free shipping for some inexpensive gifts that I had shipped direct to the recipients. In that month, I made a lot of impulse buys--I didn't have to think about combining a few smaller purchases to get free super saver shipping. But I easily could have combined the items.
I don't have a Kindle, so the Kindle-specific benefits were of no interest to me. I do sort of wish I'd tried out the video, but I never did. When the free trial was over, I didn't pay for membership, and have gone back to combining purchases to reach the $25 minimum.
It was nice getting things so quickly, but the only real advantage was free shipping on those inexpensive gifts. I'd get Prime only if it was cheaper or if Amazon raised the minimum for free standard shipping.
