Not sure if I am right, but I only see "buy now with 1-click" button, and no reward redeem option, so I assuming I cannot use the reward. I maybe wrong.

I know why, when you read the restriction of using the reward "Both No-Rush Shipping and Amazon Day Delivery rewards are promotional offers that are only available for Prime Members on eligible purchases." , it means you need to be a prime member to redeem the credit, and my prime membership expired few days ago.

Too bad it's only ebook.
I think I'd have a hard enough time using my time-machine and getting the leaders of the allied forces to believe the physical maps are real. Showing up with the maps on a handheld magic color TV might make me too unbelievable.

when i look at prime videos, it is showing the $5 of my credits off from the price.
but when i look at ebooks, there is no reduction.
I remember seeing this in the past when i purchased other ebooks

can anyone tell me if they are seeing an ebook price reduced by your credits?

Honestly, an ebook version of a map book is the last thing I'd want. I love pulling out my full size atlas books and digging into whatever subject I want to review. Lately, I've pulled out my Atlas of Middle-Earth so I can check out some of the places talked about in the Rings of Power. Really adds a new element to watching the series. I guess it might be okay on a big color screen like an iPad, but would be terrible on a grey scale kindle type device in my opinion.

What is the file size of the book? Is there noticeable degradation when a page is enlarged bigger than a screen?
(I've gotten kindle books with poor resolution images and that would ruin a book of maps.)
TIA
