Amazon increases free shipping minimum to $49 - but there is one exception

The Amazon $49 minimum does not apply to book-only orders, however - the original minimum amount of $25 still remains.

In case you didn't have enough reasons to buy Amazon Prime, here's a new one: Starting Monday, you'll have to pay more in order to get free shipping if you don't have Prime. Up until recently, that threshold was $35, but Amazon just raised its free shipping minimum to $49.
