s/o Amazon-prime ?

TheBub · December 2013

How do you use it? ...shipping or watching shows? My parents are getting DS a kindle for Xmas , so I got prime early, thinking I would use it for Xmas presents. Should I have down Netflix instead?

I see that some shoes are free, but other kids shows/seasons are not. I am having a hard time telling which is which when I go through the Instant Video app on my phone.

For instance, if you search Calliou on the app, seasons 1, 5, and 6 show up as prime. Does that mean they are free?

Also, a friend said that she thought that you could only download movies to your device, not shows. Shows required streaming, and obv a wifi connection.

Can someone explain all this to me?

There should be a logo with "prime" for anything free. You can also sort by free on the kindle or website. Not sure about the mobile app because I don't use it. There are a lot of things that aren't on netflix, and I use it a lot.

I was going to put in a dick joke, but I couldn't figure out how @wasnotwas!

OP, you can find a lot of man men on amazon prime, which means the hammaconda will be there for the viewing. That is worth its weight in gold (which is clearly substantial).

I use Amazon Prime for the movies and the shipping. The free 2 day shipping has saved my ass many a time!

@hammaconda I'm excited to watch Mad Men actually!

I use the hell out of Amazon Prime. We use it for the free shipping and for the TV shows and movies since we don't have cable or satellite anymore. I watched all four seasons of the Good Wife on there. I'm now watching MTV's Awkward. I haven't tried the lending library yet, but I probably will.

The shows that are included free for amazon prime, have the "prime" banner on it. I use it on our iPad and you can refine the search features to only show you Prime shows. The shows are streaming so you would need wifi. You can download some movies to watch later.

There are tons of free kids shows on there. Definitely, definitely worth it.

Netflix lost all their Nick shows (Dora, Blues Clues, etc) and so it's been worth it to me to have both. We have a roku so we can stream both to the tv and between Curious George and the little engine that could movie on Netflix and Dora and Blues Clues on Prime my kid is happy. I think it's strange that not all the seasons of shows that are available are "free for prime". It's not a huge deal but for a while there were no Steve Blues CLues on prime and my kid is a Joe hater.
