Is Amazon Prime worth having? I've heard it's good for quick deliveries but haven't heard if it's any good for the films/tv and the music? Opinions please.

Thanks in advance,

I only got it for the free postage. The tv is crap and the music is very limited with the prime subscription. I has to subscribe to the family music plan so everyone could listen to there own echo speakers which is another £15 on top of the prime subscription.

I'd say similar

Postage is great with quick turnaround / good packaging and no cost for Prime members. Easy service if items don't arrive too.

Music is mainstream so if your tastes are wider you'll be disappointed.

Some good tv stuff on box sets, but they often have an extra charge for the more recent seasons of series which is a pain if you really get into something and want to keep watching....

My daughter who's moved out has it as she buys loads of stuff on Amazon and gets it sent to her place but she allows me to use it to order and get our own stuff delivered.
We have an Amazon Echo that associated to it and the missus uses it to listen to **** but the music I want is not always available (no comments Mal)
Only occasionally watch anything on Prime because mostly I can't be bothered to fiddle with the Firestick remote

We have it for the free/fast deliveries, we don't use the music service but we do use the TV through the virgin media box, they have a few football matches, some box sets not on Netflix and the odd film. The TV is a bonus, but without that we'd probably only pay for prime in the run up to Christmas and the spell in summer when all our birthdays are

Prime Reading occasionally has a book or magazine that is worth reading. Carpology is available at the moment should this be of interest.

Unlimited photo storage as well, always back up your photos!

I didn't know about the photo storage, would you say it's better than Google Photos?

Seems to be okay, the app works fine. I have my ‘family albums' on a few sites just in case I lose my on site and off site backups. If you auto upload it becomes a major chore to weed out all the rubbish though, the saved memes of Theresa May and Nick Clegg, etc.

Try this.

On the browser rather than the app I went to Your Prime and then Prime Reading, from there just scrolled. Can't seem to find it on a search but it is there.

And I was tempted to link to a box of tissues.
