The Advantages That Amazon Prime Has Over Cable

By Marvin Weigel


What is Amazon Prime, and why is it considered an alternative to cable? When most people think about this web giant they do not think about streaming content and internet media availability. Usually the first experience they have is when they visit Amazon and make a purchase. Prime membership offers much more than just some shipping benefits, you also get access to thousands of movies, shows, and other types of media for the same low yearly price.

Specifically, to become a Prime member, you'll have to fork out approximately $80 on an annual basis, which basically turns out to be less than $7 per month in return for all the media entertainment that you can get your hands on. The sheer range of the movies and TV shows made available to you will be nothing short of tremendous. This really is one of the most choices that you can make if you're looking to replace the current cable you're subscribed to.

A lot of people are in fact paying over $80 for cable (this might include you), yet they still have to surf the channels continuously in the hopes of stumbling across something that's of interest to them. In essence, you're paying for many shows and channels that you'll never watch at all. It's impossible to choose to pay only for those programs that you like and will watch. As long as you sign up for a certain cable package, you'll have to make the constant payments regardless of whether you only want to watch 1-2 of the shows every week.

Amazon Prime is extremely affordable, and the large library of movies and programming means that you will find many favorites as well as some unknowns. In addition to the access that you get to media content there are other benefits included in the membership as well. You will get free two day shipping on any items that you buy through the website, and you can borrow a Kindle book from the lending library for free once each month.

Having said that, there are various other alternatives to your cable besides Amazon Prime, which will allow you to save up on the costs of media entertainment. At approximately $80 a year, the charges are considered very reasonable due to the sheer amount of content and additional perks that would be made available to you.
