I didn't realize they'd changed the terms for Prime -- that doesn't sound nearly so attractive :/ Prime doesn't offer anything I really *need* -- I don't watch enough TV shows to justify it based on the streaming video, and if it exists in eBook form, I can probably just wait for it to become available at the library to check out if I don't care sufficiently to just buy it outright, so the free, fast shipping would be the legitimate justification, and sounds like they've weakened that very significantly. Oh well, less of my money going to Amazon, I guess :P

Sorry to hear about the eyestrain! I have the old, pre-Paperwhite screen, which to me feels as easy on the eyes as a paper book, but I've wondered about how the new screen compares for glare -- it's one of the reasons I'm hoping my present Kindle lasts, b/c a lot of the changes that have been made since that model I don't think I would consider improvements...
