Be cautious with Amazon Prime. I subscribed following one of their offers of cheap rates for a few months and then I cancelled (or at least I thought I had cancelled). I was also buying a lot of Kindle books. After about six months I cut back on my Kindle buying and noticed that I was still being billed. When I queried the charges I got a reply saying it was for Kindle books, this happened several times. By this point it was about a year since I subscribed and cancelled. I eventually tracked through every charge and checked them against my Kindle purchases and found that I was being billed once a month for a Prime sub, but it was described as a Kindle book. It then took me several months to convince Amazon to cancel my subscription, and although I tried hard to get a refund for the seven incorrect charges (about $65 in total) they refused to acknowledge it and I eventually gave up. I have never joined Prime since.
