I think it's great, next day delivery, music, books, TV, film and there is probably more. There is also Prime day coming up which appears to have some special deals. I even got an Amazon fire tablet at a great price.
Sounds like an advert but I really like it.

Bl**dy expensive if you only order 1 or 2 items a year and if you spend over £20 delivery is free anyway.
It looks like I have missed out on the £59 offer, should have done it last night but wasn't sure if Prime was for me or not. Can I ask a couple of questions to those who are members please. If I am a Prime member can I download films/TV/music/books to just my laptop or tablet to use then or is it possible to then download them onto a data stick to watch or listen to later. I understand the free delivery stuff but from the website it appears to be offering all music & films in the deal, is this correct ? Thanks

@Madmag I believe the 'free' music and video is a streaming service unless they have changed it recently.

Add Prime Instant Video to that and it's even better. Their original content is top class.
There's also Prime Music as well which is as good as any of the similar services.

Prime Instant Video allows you to download selected content for viewing offline but not everything. You can watch whatever you like as often as you like online.
Prime Music allows you unlimited downloads for offline use but you have to use their app for playback.
You can select one Kindle book per month for free with Prime. Again that's selected content not everything and if you don't have a Kindle you have to use the Kindle app on a device.
If you read a lot then the separate Kindle Unlimited service might be worth a look. That costs £7.99 a month and you have access to around 650,000 books, as many and as often as you like. I've had it for a couple of years in addition to Prime and never not been able to find something to read. I've discovered a lot of new authors that I wouldn't have otherwise found and saved a bloody fortune in the process.
Does that mean it can only be watched "live" as in when you are connected to a decent wi-fi supply or can it be stored for later?

Yes, the streaming service is for watching live via an internet service and not downloading.
Giving it a try. Thanks for all your help.

Sorry I don't know whether you have or use Prime services or not but you're wrong.
Prime Music offers unlimited downloads, Prime Instant Video offers limited downloads.

Yes, I used Amazon Prime Music and Video a lot up 'till about 18 months ago but have only just renewed my membership. Things have obviously moved on
But @NickNic are you sure you are right. I thought that 'unlimited music' is not included with Prime but is an add-on

We're both partially right.
You can download with basic Prime membership but it's only selected content the same as with Instant Video. You don't have access to the full library to even stream but what you can access you can download.
Unlimited Music gives access to the complete library.
I've just checked it out with my phone to be sure and downloaded something. To be honest I haven't used it a great deal because I have free Spotify with my phone contract so tend to use that most of the time.
@Madmag Sorry, the info wasn't 100% in my previous post.
One advantage of Amazon Prime is that if one is within a ballista's stone's throw of a major city, we were camping outside Houghton Le Spring the other week, for example, then there is Amazon Prime Now.
This is a service in which they will deliver stuff within an hour or two. And, if one uses it to get the essential groceries delivered to the campsite, i.e. food and gin, then surprisingly enough it's cheaper than shopping in store!
When we come off the road and are within sodium lamp glow of a major city then we could be using this for the day to day stuff.
