What strikes me most about this announcement today is how transparently it's for the benefit of Amazon, and not readers or users. With just 5,000 titles and no big 6 publishers signed on, and open to _only_ Amazon Prime subscribers, it seems much more like a marketing ploy for Prime, and less a real value being offered to users/readers. Much less.
