For example, it looks like my kids will have to wait for a Wi-Fi connection before watching Anastasia. Judging by the titles available for downloaded, it looks like there are deals in place for HBO, Comedy Central, and Fox.Īnd there are many movies available to download as well.īut, not everything that can be streamed through Prime Video is available to download. This also depends on the rights agreements Amazon has with content providers.Īll of Amazon’s original programming like “Transparent,” “The Man in the High Castle,” and “Hand of God” are available to download. The other major limitation of the system is only part of Amazon’s video catalog is available to download. But, it looks like 30 days is the maximum amount of time. I’ve read the length of time the videos stay on your device depends on the specific agreement with the content provider.

It’s also worth pointing out that downloads won’t stay on your device indefinitely. But, if you plan on watching sitcoms, I could see burning through 25 episodes. It probably doesn’t matter if you’re sticking to movies. It’s important to note this limit is per account not per device. One big limitation for this new download feature is you can only have 25 titles at any given time.


I recently loaded my iPad with episodes of Amazon’s new show “The Man in the High Castle” before my quick trip to Vegas last week.Īfter using the download feature, my overall impression is positive but I think there is some room for improvement on Amazon’s part. This is a great new development for anyone trying to avoid the airlines’ unreliable, limited, or nonexistent in-flight entertainment. Apparently this has been available to owners of Kindle Fire tablets for awhile. Amazon Prime Video recently added the option to download some of their video catalog using the Amazon Video App on iOS and Android devices.
