How to Get a 3 Month Free Trial of Amazon Prime

Amazon is trying to get people to come and check out their textbook store, so they are offering people a free 3 month trial of Amazon Prime shipping with any purchase.  Amazon Prime is wonderful!  You get free two day shipping on ANY purchase.  Yesterday, we needed a computer part that was around $10.  When we searched to see if it was on Amazon, it was--for $8 instead.  I have also occasionally purchased items that are only $2 or $3 that wouldn't have been worth buying online without Prime. 

So, if you want to get a free trial of Prime, you can see the details on this page.  There are many of the books that are $2 or $3, and a lot of them are cool classics you might want to read anyway.  Just put one in your cart to be offered the free trial. 

My helpful hint: once you get Prime, go into the area called "manage my prime" and unclick the box that says "automatically renew."  This way, when the three months is over, you will not have prime, but you will also not pay for the new subscription unless you want to.
