Is Amazon Prime Suffering From its Own Success?

Amazon.com has a problem with its hugely successful Prime membership program — namely the program is hugely successful. The retailer recently raised the price of the annual subscription program, which offers free two-day delivery service to members along with other perks, from $79 to $99.
