Amazon Prime

Writes Jake Le Master:

If your readers plan on doing any big shopping on Amazon.com, the site has an option to sign up for a one-month free trial of Amazon Prime. With it you get free two-day shipping, and overnight shipping is only $3.99. I signed up for it two nights ago and promptly ordered several books yesterday morning. Although I did the free two-day shipping, there was a bang on my door at 7:30 AM this morning by a man delivering all the books I’d only ordered roughly a day earlier.

If you don’t cancel before the one-month is up, the service costs $79 dollars annually. Apparently you can invite four other Amazon members to share the account with you. Pretty cool stuff.
