But beyond that, what's to stop you from streaming (or 'sideloading')it wirelessly, just like you would a movie coming from amazon's server? There's plenty of ways for doing that, most of which are also on the amazon app store.
I'm not trying to be a jerk here, Jess -- just pointing out that you're making some assumptions that I'm reasonably sure are not correct. That doesn't say anything bad about you, not everyone is a techie!  |
Yeah, I know about that. But, I have 2.0 flashdrives and they are pretty crappy at transferring, unlike the external I have. The same is true about the multiple devices I have.
