Using this list I would say that 10% of the reason I like Amazon Prime is for the lending library, because there aren't that many eligible books that I happen to like at the moment.

Probably 20% is the Prime Instant Videos . I probably watched $40-50 worth of "free ones" on my Kindle Fire the past 6 months. Some of them were good finds, that I would not normally have selected them if I had to buy them individually.

And 70% of the satisfaction is the "free 2-day shipping" on eligible items. Really love it.
