While the content can be accessed with an Amazon Kindle or Fire, [Prime members](https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Prime-One-Year-Membership/dp/B00DBYBNEE/?tag=timecom-20) don't need an Amazon e-reader to take advantage of the new benefit: Users of iOS or Android devices can get it via the Kindle app. The online behemoth lately has been adding more services that make its $99 [Amazon Prime subscription](https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Prime-One-Year-Membership/dp/B00DBYBNEE/?tag=timecom-20) an offer people can't refuse, which is understandable from a business perspective. Prime users [spend](https://money.com/amazon-prime-subscribers-spending/) more than twice, on average, what non-Prime shoppers do over the course of a year. The announcement about [Prime Reading](https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/fd/nonprime-pr/?tag=timecom-20) comes on the heels of a new offering called Amazon Prints, a photo-printing service that goes head-to-head with sites like Shutterfly and Snapfish. Although Prime members don't get free pictures, they do get free photo storage via cloud-based Amazon Drive. People who aren't Prime members can buy an Amazon Drive account (which includes unlimited storage) for $59.99 a year, but at that point, many are likely to do a little mental calculating and decide that the full Prime membership and all it includes is a better deal. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/amazon-prime-reading/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Shopping", "item": "https://money.com/shopping/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Prime Day", "item": "https://money.com/prime-day/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Amazon Adds Another Benefit to Its Prime Subscription Service" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/amazon-prime-reading/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/amazon-prime-reading/", "name": "Amazon Adds Another Benefit to Its Prime Subscription Service", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2016-10-05T13:54:26.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/amazon-prime-reading/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/amazon-prime-reading/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-05-16T11:48:07.000Z" }, { "@type": "Article", "headline": "Amazon Adds Another Benefit to Its Prime Subscription Service", "articleSection": "Shopping", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2016/10/amazon-ebooks.jpeg", "width": 5274, "height": 3015, "caption": "Amazon Opens First Brick-And-Mortar Bookstore In Seattle" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Martha C.
