Movies don't interest me. I have a Roku for PBS, The Smithsonian and MLB. The only TV or video service I would want would be the Golf Channel. (Big fan in the family) He doesn't like movies, game shows and TV specials, either.
OTA works just fine for what we can get. But he does like to look through books to see what he wants to read and can be extremely fussy. If all the books can be lent out, that would solve the problem of not liking a book after it was paid for.
For myself, shipping only would be OK.

The Kindle Online Lending Library lets you check out one ebook at a time for an unlimited time, maximum one per month.
Kindle first gives you one ebook a month (out of six, typically) to own.
Amazon music has streaming music stations and playlists.
Freetime Unlimited gives you a discount on the subscription.
Gamers get lower prices on video games.
Advance notice of lightning deals.
And, recently (experimentally?) certain products are only available directly to Prime members. Though available via third party resellers.
Other perks, too.
It's a customer loyalty program.
The video? It has its uses.
If you're a Doctor Who fan, a follower of Michael Connelly' BOSCH novels, or are intrigued by their exclusive shows you'll probably find stuff to like. Their content targets a very specific demographic and has a fair amount of HALLMARK films and kid friendly material. It has PBS, STARZ, and CBS content you won't get on Netflix or Hulu. And they recently signed up a good chunk of the best Indie movies at the Sundance film festival. Us they have a Woody Allen series coming. (As I said, they target a specific, slightly upscale, demographic.)
