And they make this announcement on the day their share price soars because of record profits.
$20 extra per year on it's 100 million Prime memberships is pretty good for cashflow!
Not too impressed as I mainly use it for Prime Video. Don't do much purchasing these days so free shipping to YouShop is of no use to me.

I use it mainly for Prime Video but it's still US$10/month which is not too bad - complements our Netflix and Hulu subscriptions well.
We do use it occasionally - I used the free two day shipping to send a Chromebook to Michaelmurfy's hotel room when he was attending CES earlier this year and a couple of other things. Also used the free Kindle book a few times so all in all it's not too bad for us.

Confirms that stockholders are firmly in charge
I thought Prime was always underpriced / cost Amazon a lot more than the money it brought in?
Netflix must be due another one soon as well, surely...

I have heard varying rumors and discussions in the industry that the end price for NF is going to be $24 USD a month.
Prime is a bit of a hike, but it's still the best value subscription I have and the first I renew each year and it would be the last I get rid of. $20 is a bit of a hike, but I'll still be a subscriber and think Amazon is awesome even after they charge my credit card. 2 Day shipping has been good for me over the years and prime video is good too.
I have heard part of the price increase is to provide even more than is being provided now, watch this space is what I was told.
