Amazon Prime = Free Kindle?

[AreaCode707]

Somehow this sounds more to me like the Onion or a "Bill Gates wants to give you $100 for every person you send this to" than real news...

Does Prime only work with shipping from Amazon store or all their affiliate stores?

Sounds to me like it may be something Amazon probably won't ever do, but it'll probably cause a decent flux in memberships. Brilliant

I'm an amazon prime member and I'd love a kindle. My guess is that I won't be selected for a while though because I don't buy many books. I have a feeling they are mainly offering the kindle to prime users to buy a couple books a month.

This "story" originated on TechCrunch, which means that it most likely is bullshit.

I think it's worth for an avid reader (translate: buyer) who has amazon prime to try out kindle. If amazon successfully switch that kind of folks, chances are they'd get more income from them. This is on a basic presumption that kindle books are at higher margins compare to a physical books, including the delivery costs.

I'd definitely take a kindle.

I've had my eyes on one for the past month or so, and I just can't pull the trigger at $260. But, that price would be slashed in half or even free, then for sure I'd buy one.

A bit.

A bit.

Thanks for changing. I'm a work surfer and I'd hate AT to make the blacklist.

Brilliant. This is a result of Amazon focusing heavily on their pricing algos.

Yep, Arrington is a massive tool.

I loved reading about the Tech Crunch intern that got busted extorting a MacBook Air out of a company.
