Free Amazon Prime membership for college students

Do you have a kid going to college or university? Well, they can sign up for Amazon Prime free for six months. Then it renews for half price for four years ($39 instead of $70). You must have an .edu email address to sign up. I use Amazon Prime for myself. Membership gets free two day shipping on most items (no minimums), access to free streaming videos that you can watch on your computer, TiVo or iPad AND a huge library of free kindle books you can borrow (but have no due date). You have to have an actual Kindle to take advantage of the free lending library (it includes current bestsellers like all the Harry Potter books). I love the free shipping at holiday time to take care of all my east coast relatives. Plus once you sign up you can refer friends and get $3. Don't forget Amazon is great place to buy text books at discounted prices!
