once i tested and found 1. netflix would save to card OK. 2, amazon video ( same shows) would save to internal storage OK, I decided it was not an issue I wanted to live with..
if I had to guess I'd say that amazon have screwed up getting android write permissions to external storage in their latest OS upgrade.. as other apps - Netflix, calibre Companion.. has no issues writing to that card., & the write I/O error is as soon as the download attempt begins

What version OS do you have? I have 5.6.0.0 and it downloads fine on my HD 10 and HD 8. It only took a few minutes for 1.82 gb on each. Did you get the error right away? Was the size of the download the same for both Amazon and Netflix?
I am having a weird error on the HD 8 when it wakes up from a long sleep. I get a message on the lockscreen that says my SD card was removed unexpectedly or something like that. When I go to settings I see the SD card is available. I just wiped the HD 8 a few days ago so there shouldn't be anything to cause problems. Maybe there is a problem with SD cards on the latest OS but it shows up differently for different people.
Edit: getting the error message on my HD 8 isn't after a long sleep, I get it after a short sleep too.
