Amazon has announced its annual prime membership fee has increased by 20 dollars to 99 dollars. Students who use Amazon's services to avoid long lines at The University Bookstore orColloquium can sign up for a student-discounted rate of 49 dollars. Prime members receive two-day shipping at no extra cost, plus the ability to borrow Kindle books as well as stream movies and television shows. Amazon says the membership has increased because of growing fuel and shipping costs.
