Services That Don't Require a Prime Subscription
If you want access to an Amazon-owned service but don't want to pay for Amazon Prime to get it, there are a few different services that can be subscribed to separately.
Kindle Unlimited
An Amazon Prime membership will get you access to Prime Reading, but a Kindle Unlimited subscription is still separate. That means you will still need to pay for Kindle Unlimited even if you have Prime and also that you can subscribe to it without also paying for Amazon Prime. This will get you access to all of the popular LitRPG, comics, and other novels available with the service for 11ドル.99 per month.
Audible
Similar to Kindle Unlimited, Audible is a separate service that requires its own membership outside of Prime. You can use your Amazon account to log in to Audible once you have a subscription, but that's the extend of the connection. Amazon Prime's reading benefit does includes some books with Audible narration included, but the selection is limited.
Prime Video
Prime Video is included with an Amazon Prime subscription, but that doesn't mean you need one to be able to use it. According to Amazon's help page, user's can rent or purchase movies from the platform at any time without being subscribed to the service. You can also subscribe to just Prime Video without the rest of the Amazon benefits for 8ドル.99 per month. There are also a ton of different add-on streaming services if you want to bundle everything into a single bill.
Amazon Music
If you don't currently have a Prime membership or a subscription to Amazon Music Unlimited you can still listen to some ad-supported playlists and stations. You will need a compatible Alexa-enabled device to do so, but a subscription is not required.
Free Standard Shipping
One of the main benefits of an Amazon Prime membership is fast and free shipping. However, you don't actually need to be a Prime member to get access to free shipping. In most cases you will just need to order 35ドル or more of eligible items and select free shipping. Amazon has more details about this directly from its website.
