In the UK prime is bittersweet. Here all we get is free 1 day delivery.

That alone is pretty good - and for a "power user" of Amazon like me (who used to spend multiples of the £50 prime membership in delivery a year) it rocks.

But we don't get any of this good stuff (streaming/books).

Which is a shame because I suspect it would finally convince me to buy a Kindle :)



Less than a year ago, all you got in the USA was free 2 day delivery.

Licensing videos and books is surely very complex legally, so starting more than one country at a time would undoubtedly be very hard.

I'd hardly call that "bittersweet".
