Thanks, tubemonkey. I have been looking at Android tablets, and I'm under the impression that not all can stream video from Amazon. Can anyone tell me which Android tablets
can do that? What do I need to look for? As I mentioned, the only mobile device listed on Amazon's page as capable of streaming their videos is the Kindle Fire.
For computers, Amazon's
computer technical requirements are below. The Android tablets wouldn't meet those specs.

Here are the computer system requirements for Amazon Instant Video:
- Computer Hardware: PCs: Intel Pentium 4 2.33GHz processor or equivalent. Macs: PowerPC G5 1.8GHz or faster or Intel Core Duo 1.33 GHz or faster.
- Computer Hardware for HD: Most Duo Core 2.00GHz Macs and PCs or faster.
- Browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or above, Firefox 1.5 or above, or Safari 2.0 or above.
- Browser Plug-ins: The most recent versions of JavaScript and Adobe Flash Player.
- Internet Connection: Broadband Internet connection with minimum recommended connection speed of 450 Kbits/sec.
- Internet Connection for HD: Broadband Internet connection with minimum recommended connection speed of 3,500 Kbits/sec.

Techiegirl, as monkeyluis said, you have to request the Amazon Prime books from your Kindle device. Illustrated instructions are given
here.
