Amazon Prime Video, an Internet-based video-on-demand service through subscription was launched by Amazon in September 2006 in the United States as Amazon Instant Video. 12years later, it is available worldwide except in Mainland China, Iran, Syria and North Korea. After a 30-day trial period, one needs to subscribe to a monthly or yearly subscription.
Prime was owned, developed, and operated solely by Amazon. So why should you choose Amazon Prime over any of its competitors? Here’s a list of reasons stating exactly why:
1. Free Shipping: On taking a Prime Subscription, you can get free two-day shipping at Amazon on all eligible items. Get free same-day shipping and even one-hour delivery at some places.
2. High Video Quality:
Amazon lets you stream the video in 4K (UHD) and HDR quality. There are several other titles available in the Prime subscription package. Other titles of the package support streaming in HD 1080p with 5.1 Dolby Digital. However, it all depends on the device.

4. Pocket-friendly: Why would you pay 500 Rupees per month for Netflix, 199 Rupees per month for Hotstar, when you can pay only 999 Rupees for Prime for the whole year. A full year subscription comes to around 83 Rupees/ month, which is a great deal if you ask me.
5. Deals and Discounts:
Being a Prime Subscriber has its perks not only for watching the videos and shows of your choice but also for shopping on Amazon. If you are a Prime Subscriber, you will get a lot of discounts and offers on Amazon and also pre-notifications about upcoming sales.

6. X-ray:
Just like an X-ray of our body part lets us see the inside clearly, Amazon Prime’s X-Ray let its viewers know about the actors’ biographies, trivia and other information about the movie or tv show they are watching.

7. Your Very Own Watchlist: Too many videos that you like and want to watch them later? Choose your favourite show or series and add that to your watchlist for easy navigation.
8. Parental Control: It is not in your hand what your kids will get in touch with over the course of their adolescence phase, but you can control what they watch and learn from. Amazon Prime lets you lock adult content with a four-digit pin without which it cannot be opened.
9. De-registration: Lost your phone? Cannot find it? Or sold it for a new one? But, just now you remember that you did not log out from the Amazon prime’s profile. Well, log in from some other device, and you will automatically log out your account from the old device.
10. Write Your Own Story: Not liking the show or think it would be better if the plot was designed in some other way. Amazon is here to know that from you. On Amazon Studio’s site, you can submit your script, your idea, and if you want to conduct a full-fledged programme of your own.
