It looks like Amazon is starting a bigger push for people to buy into Prime, which makes a lot of sense for their business. Historically, Amazon has not been making profit for their operations (According to Wikipedia they lost $39 million in 2012), so this new policy should push them closer toward the black. New Prime users will also grow the userbase that comes back to Amazon for purchases. Personally, the new policy doesn't really effect me since I have Prime (it's even better if you're a student!).
