Amazon signed me up without my say so for 'Prime' and if I had not
taken prompt action it would have cost me £75 a year.

SFAIK, it is illegal for you to be enrolled in a paying service
without your consent. However, if you have, at any time, accepted a
trial of Prime, you have agreed to it being automatically renewed
when the trial period ends. Given the way they present the options,
it is not difficult accidentally to chose to trial Prime when
navigating to the checkout.

Except that having been caught that way once, I am uber careful.

I have just given up using Amazon. Except in extremis, where no one
else has what I want.

Where do you go now then?

A variety of places. Google and the Shopping tab usually work, and it
ends up being just the same few suppliers. For e-books, usually Google
Play (and no DRM to speak of).
