I've rarely used the so-called free video as most of the good stuff is for pay, and Amazon charges way too much compared to Netflix and Hulu. They have very little of interest to me among the free videos. Same with their book deals--not much that interests me. And that one free lent book per month is a joke. if you borrow a book that turns out to be total crap, you still have to wait 30 days to borrow another. IMHO, the free videos and books are a gimmick and not worth much.
I signed up for Prime when it was still just free two-day shipping. For me, anything extra is just gravy. I would agree with you that KOLL and the free videos aren't worth $79 per year. Two day shipping definitely is. A few months ago, I ordered a dehumidifier one Friday afternoon. I paid an extra $3.99 and received it on Saturday morning...shipping from Arizona to Kentucky. Even if I had to pay the current rate of $8.99 extra for Saturday delivery, that's still pretty nice.
