The only downside I find to Amazon Prime is that they don't offer streaming video apps for non-Kindle Android Devices. Also, as per any streaming video service, their video streaming is throttled by the greedy, douche-bag ISP cable companies like Comcast because they see streaming video services such as Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu as a threat to their business models.

Amazon is plagued with nonsense billing/performance technical problems and nickel-and-dime gimmicks. No thanks. Unlimited streaming with a flat fee destroys it any day.

What sort of nickel-and-dime gimmicks are you talking about? I happen to prefer Amazon Prime over Netflix, and here's why: Prime is cheaper, especially if you have the student discount which amounts to $40/year. Prime has a greater movie selection...Granted, the quality and quantity of movies available through the basic service are comparable to that of Netflix but Prime also has newer, first-rate movies that you can rent and stream. You can also purchase streamed movies/TV show episodes "permanently". Amazon Prime provides free 2-day shipping on anything you buy through Amazon. You can download and borrow one ebook per month at no additional cost for your Kindle
