I think it is great. One free book a month. Say 13$ a pop at 12 months that is $156 a year in free books.

I only read a couple full books a year now. Pre-Internet I was consuming a couple dozen a year.

I already have Amazon Prime for their free tv/movie streaming library (which has more of what I like than Netflix had), plus free 2 night shipping (never mind the $3.99 for overnight shipping which is pretty amazing) I personally think Amazon Prime is the best deal out there right now for a one price multimedia consumption program, with the added bonus of free shipping.

I was on the fence about getting a kindle fire, I think this may be the nudge to get me to buy it.
