Over time, it has expanded to include a wide range of services, making it one of the most popular membership programs globally.

One of the key features of Amazon Prime is its video streaming service, Prime Video, which offers movies, TV shows, and original content known as "Amazon Originals." Notable original shows include The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Boys, and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Prime Video is included in the membership and is accessible on various devices like smartphones, smart TVs, and tablets.

Amazon Prime also includes Prime Music, providing access to over two million songs and thousands of playlists, and Prime Reading, offering members access to eBooks, audiobooks, and magazines. Members also benefit from Prime Gaming, which offers free games, in-game loot, and a free monthly subscription to a Twitch channel.

In terms of shopping, Amazon Prime members enjoy fast and free shipping, with many products available for same-day or two-day delivery. There are also exclusive discounts and early access to deals, including Amazon’s major sales events like Prime Day.

Amazon Prime operates on a subscription basis, with options for monthly or yearly payments. As of 2024, Amazon Prime is available in several countries, with tailored services based on regional availability.
