What Does Free Really Mean?


Today I was looking at the Amazon website to purchase the book “Christmas Jars” by Jason F. Wright for the December book club meeting.  I knew that books could be borrowed much like a library on the kindle and I thought that I would check into this feature.  It is free for prime members.  I then began to wonder – who is a prime member.  Well, a prime member is one who pays a yearly fee of $79.  So my questions it this – is it really free if I have to pay a membership fee?  I am sure the membership fee contains other perks which I have not checked out.  But overall,  this does not sound free to me.  What do you think?

  1. Doesnt sound free to me… :-0. I guess if you can read 79 books in a year your cost is a dollar and you are getting closer to free. And if you only want to pay 1 penny well you would have to do some major reading! Lol
