Yes, I am a Prime member too. Probably for other reasons than you are, and maybe for the same reasons. When we ordered the Voyages, we just got Prime as well just so the books could be delivered faster. Didn't make that much difference in price, but now it is so much nicer to get anything from Amazon. Before it was a hassle to get the free shipping and had to order $35 or more, now it is so much easier and faster with Prime. I knew there was other benefits that we might be interested in just in case the shipping didn't make it worthwhile.
Short story long, or the other way around. The shipping is already well worth it all by itself. And then everything else comes like a benefit. Occasional a movie is nice - we had Netflix before, and canceled it as it wasn't worth the money for as much as we ended up using it. Prime music is great and selection seems to get bigger all the time (it is playing right now as I type) - nice to know that it even allows download of songs to my mp3 player (phone) for offline listening. The only book related thing about Prime to my knowledge was the lending library which was not even a factor when deciding to try Prime. I mean, it is probably okay, but does not do anything better (even worse) than the way KU handles things. Had KU since it got introduced, even before checking Prime out. So there.
