In his final letter to Amazon shareholders, Jeff Bezos says new CEO Andy Jassy"will muster the energy needed to keep alive in us what makes us special."

Amazon now has more than 200 million subscribers to its Amazon Prime service, CEO Jeff Bezos wrote in his annual letter to shareholders Thursday. Amazon Prime Video programming is included in the larger Prime subscription, making it one of the most widely-available premium streaming services in the world.

The annual letter will also be Bezos' last, as he shifts to a new chairman role later this year. Andy Jassy, who leads Amazon Web Services, will take over as CEO of the tech giant. Bezos addressed the CEO transition at the end of his letter, writing that"It’s a hard job with a lot of responsibility."

"Andy is brilliant and has the highest of high standards. I guarantee you that Andy won’t let the universe make us typical. He will muster the energy needed to keep alive in us what makes us special," Bezos wrote."That won’t be easy, but it is critical. I also predict it will be satisfying and oftentimes fun."

How is this news worthy? 🙄

I mean, prime videos is bonus to free delivery

Subscribing to PrimeVideo is a no-brainer, really. The subscription pays for itself just from the free & fast deliveries. The streaming content is just a bonus. I would still like them to vastly improve their catalogue in India though. And also the quality of their 'Originals'.

GoshZilla I had Amazon Prime for like 2 years for the free delivery and never once logged into Amazon Prime Video. The numbers are pumped.
