I wouldn't join just for streaming but the free streaming is a nice perk.

On 1/24/2015 ceekay said:Well, well. Amazon just replied to my earlier email to them and said that the Roku streaming stick is not a supported device for the video. Interesting that there is an Amazon button on the Roku remote. Is there some other type of Amazon video available but it is just not free or something? I admit to being not too knowledgeable about this stuff, but it let me register my Roku. Guess I will see what I can do on via Roku and I can cancel the Prime I suppose.
Here is what they said: "I have checked for this and I see that currently Prime Instant Video content cannot be viewed on the Roku Streaming stick. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."
If your roku stick has the amazon prime app you shouldn't have any problems just make sure any program you select to watch has the prime logo across the left corner. There is also another app for amazon free prime music.

I don't think current subscribers like it because in 2014 they raised the price from 79.00 to 99.00
I bet they don't!
But thinking they are not getting many re subscribers or new ones @ $99

There are lots of free movies & TV programs. Definitely worth the price.
I do not have cable & stream with Roku on my TV.

Prime is great!
Free 2 day shipping on many items, so what was paid to join yearly if one order items they have already saved so much more in shipping just by joining and having their Amazon Prime membership.
Also there are other great incentives only offered to Amazon Prime Members.
You can not have Prime but also download apps to read free Amazon ebooks and the apps are for Mac and Windows. I also began with them having downloaded to my Mac and Windows computers with free ebooks offered, afterwards I purchased electronics to read all my ebooks on the go.
Fabulous large selection of movies, other video's as well as free music to listen to and or download into your music library.
I keep my paid for and free Amazon music here in my Amazon prime member music library, and also have downloaded them all into my itunes library on Mac, Windows and ipad electronics.
