Amazon.com Inc. will let people post videos to its website and earn money from advertising, royalties and other sources, putting the company in more-direct competition with Google’s YouTube.

Amazon used a similar strategy to boost its inventory of electronic books through Kindle Direct Publishing, which lets authors bypass traditional publishers and reach readers directly by posting and selling their own e-books online.

Their music app is pretty cool, I like it better than iTunes and the music is free.

I love Prime. My bank account doesn't though I get probably 4-5 packages a week. It's like Christmas because I forget what I order. So I don't know what I'm getting when I open a box.

Its for iphone yes. There is an online streaming library or you can download tunes on your phone and play them offline without streaming. Its free for prime members. Not every song/artist is available and sometimes it changes where you have a song and next time you go play it its no longer licenses or whatever. Generally speaking its awesome IMO. I also like the lyrics feature, you can have it flashing on bottom of screen, every song has it.

Awesome. I've been looking for a cheap way to monetize my films. Crazy that YouTube has done so little in this area.

I bought $3,000 in Amazon credit in December to maximize 10x points for some award points.

My wife started moving all her shopping to Amazon, it's already gone

We'll see if I use that tactic again this December.
