The value proposition for Amazon Prime has sunk quite a bit in the last year. More and more products have multiple listings: one that's not Prime eligible, and one that is Prime eligible but costs more. So, that two day free shipping isn't free. Plus, living in NYC, a large percentage of the two day free shipping items just get sent USPS anyway, so I'm not getting anything extra.

Amazon's Prime video service is similarly less of a value than it should be. Unlike competing services like Hulu and Netflix, you can't watch Amazon Prime videos on your Android phone or tablet (who cares, it's just the #1 mobile OS, right?). Amazon's logic is to force you to use their proprietary tablets that are based on Android but don't support Google's app store or Google's services, meaning that a whole array of Android apps aren't compatible, including big ones like Google Chrome and Firefox.

I'm ditching Amazon Prime at the end of my term in two months as a result.

I've watched prime videos on my asus tablet just by using a browser. Seems to work fine.

They work to varying degrees within the mobile browser. But the app, which does a better job of displaying and caching the video as you play resulting in a better image, is only available for iOS and Amazon's gimped Android tablets.
