A standard Amazon account enables you to manage your Kindle Fire device (more on that in Chapter 3, “Using Amazon’s Manage Your Kindle Page”) and to purchase books, music, and much more. To get the full value from your Kindle Fire, however, consider upgrading to an Amazon Prime account. An Amazon Prime account costs $79 per year.
Amazon Prime 51 Extended Prime Benefits for Caregivers and Students If you are the primary caregiver (mom, dad, grandparent, and so forth) of a young child, you can get 20 percent off diapers, wipes, and certain other family goods by joining Amazon Mom as a member of Amazon Prime. Browse to www.amazon.com/prime for details. If you are a college student, you can get a free 6-month subscription to Amazon Prime and then continue for $39 per year, a 50% discount over the regular membership fee.
52 Chapter 2 Accessing Amazon’s Cloud Services Prime All the Time At the end of your free trial, Amazon automatically bills you for $79 to extend your Prime membership for a full year.
