Amazon expands "Buy with Prime", D&D heads to the big-screen, Meta plays nice on ads

Good morning! Dungeons and Dragons is getting a live-action series on Paramount+. While the owners of D&D want to rectify what they see as "an under-monetized brand", it remains to be seen whether D&D fans actually care about the big-screen.

Highlight of the day

Amazon is expanding the availability of its "Buy with Prime" button to more stores. The offer increased shopper conversion by 25% in A/B tests, and the move represents an attempt by Amazon to increase monetization of its fulfilment and shipping operations.
