I searched for it in the Amazon appstore app and installed it. Now I am watching the Prime movie. Success.
Exactly. The problem is that tablets cannot download the Amazon app from Google Play with video support - only the one without it. But you can get a tablet compatible Amazon app from Amazon Appstore. Since you have to install the Appstore anyway, it is just another click to get the Amazon app from there.

But I still heartily object to jumping through these hoops. It should require one download from Google Play, and without the Appstore dependency. It's just crazy and treats customers poorly.
