The author canceled their Amazon Prime subscription on a whim and realized they didn't really need it.
Leaving Prime meant slower shipping but the author was happy to wait and still found the selection and delivery speed satisfactory.
Many people love Prime for its fast shipping and convenience, but some readers expressed ambivalence and considered canceling.

I'll go further, I stopped using Amazon entirely and I don't miss it.

The junky shopping experience is especially clear once you leave and come back.

I only ever order books from amazon anymore, and usually only when I get a gift card or a product isn't for sale elsewhere.

The prices aren't even that good anymore.

if you want to try an Amazon alternative of books, try ThrifBooks, they have new books as well as used ones

Most of the books I buy are reference books, that site actually has a decent stock, thanks!
