Read books for free
One of the best Amazon Prime benefits for big-time book readers is Prime Reading, which gives Prime members unlimited reading from a selection of books, comics and more—at no additional cost. You can even browse these titles and download them to your device for long flights or Internet-free zones.
These are the signs the online reviews you’re reading can’t be trusted.
Download award-winning movies and TV episodes for offline viewing
For movie and television buffs, downloading for offline viewing is one of the best Amazon Prime benefits out there. Prime members on Fire tablets, Fire phones, Android phones or tablets, and iOS devices can download specially-marked Amazon Prime videos to their device and watch them later. The time period you have to view a download varies by title.
