Hi Myrna:
You are correct. You cannot borrow books using your iOS deices. Shipping is
definitely  worth the price.

 Hey all,
 
 I don't buy a lot but do buy almost everything through Amazon, and
recently
 paid for two day shipping, yeah I guess I am impatient when I want
 something. I wanted to see if the people who are using Amazon Prime are
 liking it and felt it was worth it. I think the shipping alone might make
it
 worth it, but wanted to see if the Amazon Instant Video was accessible on
 the iPhone, as I have read conflicting reports. I know Amazon Instant
Video
 doesn't offer any of their titles with described video, but did want to
see
 if the app works with VO. Also, I thought I read that you can also get one
 book a month from the Kindle lending group. Are people finding a wide
 variety of choices in this group, or does it really just consist of books
 you would never read. Thanks.

Re: Amazon Prime is it worth it and are the videos accessible

2013-12-29 Thread Christina C.
I find the app on the iPhone to watch movies to be accessible. I do think the 
app could be more accessible but I can find my way around with no real problems 
and watch a movie. We have an apple TV device and we use air play to watch the 
movies on our TV. I can’t see a darn thing but the family likes it on the TV 
instead of the tiny screen on the iPhone. :) However, in my personal opinion, I 
would not pay for prime just for the movies. :) They are a really great perk 
and we do enjoy the choices but I would not pay for prime based on the prime 
movies and shows. It’s super great to have, especially when we are bored or 
don’t want to fork out any money to rent a movie. :) Plus, to my knowledge 
there is no descriptive video service on the movies or shows and therefore, I 
am lost half the time unless I have sighted assistance.

We love Prime and therefore, I personally believe it is worth it. I love to 
say, Oh, I need this or that but can’t take a trip to the store. So, I get on 
Amazon, order, then the package arrives quickly. Love it!

Re: Amazon Prime is it worth it and are the videos accessible

Thanks Christina. I would be making the jump to prime for the shipping speed, 
and looked at the videos as a bonus as I canceled my Netflix due to zero 
described video content. Figured Amazon didn't have any described video as none 
of the streaming services offer DV, guess they figure blind people don't watch 
movies. I view the movie streaming as a bonus, but did want to make sure I 
could access it. Thanks

thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
This I call to mind,

The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

Re: Amazon Prime is it worth it and are the videos accessible

2013-12-27 Thread Jenny Wood
Hi there.  I have had Amazon prime now for around two years, and it has been 
worth every penny for the shipping alone.  However, I have also recently begun 
watching many Amazon videos, which I also enjoy as a benefit of the prime 
membership.  As to the accessibility of the videos, I can't really say.  I have 
been watching them via the Kindle Fire HDX, where I can tell you they are 
definitely very accessible, but can't speak to Ios, windows or the mac.  
Perhaps I will give it a try on my iPhone or macbook pro today and get back to 
you.  I have also taken advantage of the kindle lending library, but to the 
best of my knowledge, you can only borrow kindle books from a kindle device.

 Thanks.

Re: Amazon Prime is it worth it and are the videos accessible

2013-12-27 Thread Traci Duncan
Our family has subscribed to Amazon prime off/on for a few years now.  I’m not 
sure if we’ll resubscribe this year.

One point I’ve liked about it, is sure 2 free day shipping, but there isn’t the 
minimum $25 to spend.  So, maybe the $80 membership fee comes out in the wash.

I find the instant video app fairly accessible, but lol, I can’t figure out how 
to play a video.  We mostly added videos to our watchList then watched them on 
our TV.  That part wasn’t accessible, it is a visio tv with little applets.  

Good luck on your decision.  I say, if money isn’t a great concern, go for it!  
There’s a great freedom in that prime 2 day shipping.  Also, only $3.99 for 
next day or sometimes express same day delivery.

 Hi there.  I have had Amazon prime now for around two years, and it has been

 begun watching many Amazon videos, which I also enjoy as a benefit of the 
 prime membership.  As to the accessibility of the videos, I can't really say. 
  I have been watching them via the Kindle Fire HDX, where I can tell you they 
 are definitely very accessible, but can't speak to Ios, windows or the mac.  
 Perhaps I will give it a try on my iPhone or macbook pro today and get back 
 to you.  I have also taken advantage of the kindle lending library, but to 
 the best of my knowledge, you can only borrow kindle books from a kindle 
 device.
