Ah, to be a college kid again…. Amazon Extends Amazon Prime Free for One Year to College Students

This is not a Kindle thing precisely, but … well … wow!

Amazon has just extended free Amazon Prime service for one year to any college student who signs up for its new Amazon Student service. That’s at least a $79 value, translating into unlimited free two-day shipping on textbooks and millions of other items with no minimum order size.

I’ve had Amazon Prime for years and I use it for books and groceries and medical supplies and clothes and software and, of course, for Kindles and Kindle accessories. When someone pays $79 a year for Amazon Prime, as I do, it becomes a powerful magnet for me to purchase as much as possible of what I need through Amazon. Amazon is obviously betting that millions of students will behave the same way, and I suspect the company is right.

The world keeps getting smaller, and Amazon’s reach keeps getting bigger.
