Device: kobo forma, Kobo Libra, Huawei media Tab, fire HD10, PW3 HDX8.9,
The prime selection will vary by country. It was on amazon.Co. UK prime this afternoon. I am Not typing on that tablet now so I cannot immediately check but I think 900mb approx. Amazon may be smart enough to go: "if the device has h265 hardware decode, we can send a hevc compressed file"
I.e. choose the format based on the the device capabilities, like with kindle book formats.
I know they use hevc compression for their 4k stuff, maybe they use it for hd also to save on transmit bandwidth. I think the fire devices have video hardware that is optimized for decoding amazon's own encoding, they use that as a rationale to restrict other android tablets to sd quality
