Friday Factoid: Amazon Prime

“Amazon Prime, the $79-a-year subscriptin service that gives customers free two-day shipping and access to movies and TV shows, creates Amazon addicts: In the year before a customer joins, he spends $400 a year, on average; in the year after, $900. Prime growth exceeds 50% annually.”

In my case, I do know that I don’t think about delivery times or charges with my Amazon Prime subscription.
