We have written about many of the different Roku models, and one of the biggest benefits to buying a Roku is the ability to stream video with Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime is a yearly membership with Amazon that allows you to get free two-day shipping on items sold by Amazon, while also providing access to their large catalog of Prime-eligible streaming video content.
At the time of this writing, this included some popular shows and movies like The Avengers, The Good Wife, Justified, Downton Abbey, Thor and thousands more. They are currently offering a free, 30-day trial that you can start by clicking the picture below.
There are a lot of reasons to consider an Amazon Prime membership, even if you already have a membership to a similar service like Netflix. Some of the best reasons are:
- Free two-day shipping on anything sold by Amazon, as well as the ability to upgrade to one-day shipping for $3.99 (no minimum order amount for either option)
- Access to the entire catalog of Prime streaming videos, which you can check out here
- Access to the Kindle Lending Library, which allows you to borrow from thousands of popular books. Learn more about the Lending Library here
As mentioned above, this is a great option if you have a Roku already, or are considering purchasing one, as it lets you watch those Amazon Prime videos on your TV. If you don’t have a Roku yet, check out the Roku LT model, which is available from Amazon at a very low price.
If you order from Amazon a lot, or if you hate paying shipping costs at other online retailers, then Amazon Prime might be a good decision for you. If you decide to stay with Amazon Prime after your 30-day free trial has ended, you get charged one time for the yearly membership fee, which works out to less per month than you are currently paying for Netflix. So you get a service that is similar to Netflix for less, plus free two-day shipping on anything that you order from Amazon. For people that like to shop online and stream videos, it is a really good deal.
