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

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

Re: Amazon Prime is it worth it and are the videos accessible
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. -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On Dec 27, 2013, at 1:47 PM, Brian Fischler blindga...@gmail.com wrote: 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.

Re: Amazon Prime is it worth it and are the videos accessible
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. Traci On Dec 27, 2013, at 12:20 PM, Jenny Wood kc5...@gmail.com wrote: Hi there.

Re: Amazon Prime is it worth it and are the videos accessible
Thanks Jenny. Well, I guess that rules out that Kindle lending part, no Kindle here and no plans to get one, pretty happy living on the idevice side. Thanks for the feedback.

I do use the prime instant video app, and I have found it to be accessible.
