The First and Only Subscription Streaming Service to Offer This Feature

Prime members can download movies and TV episodes to iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets and Fire devices at no additional charge

Allows for offline viewing—on a plane, in a car, at the beach or wherever members want to watch Prime Video

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 1, 2015-- Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) today announced that Prime members in the U.S., U.K., Germany and Austria will now be able to download movies and TV episodes, including award-winning Amazon Original Series, to iPhones, iPads and Android phones and tablets for offline viewing, at no additional charge. Amazon Video is the only online subscription streaming video service that enables downloads of titles, meaning unlike other subscription streaming services such as Netflix, Prime members can enjoy movies and TV shows as part of their membership even when they don’t have an internet connection available.

Finally! This is great news! Been waiting a long time for Amazon to make this change. I will find it useful for plane travels.

Why I don't get excited about Amazon Prime Video: What they have that I want to watch will almost always cost me money to watch, a frigging ridiculous amount of money. Netflix has little available for streaming, but at least one charge per month covers every stream. Amazon will let you watch last years crap you already saw, sometimes, but this years stuff will cost $3.99 per episode. Screw that! The free stuff simply doesn't appeal to me very often, and no doubt that is why it is free. I get Prime for the shipping, and that alone, but it would be nicer if the Video streaming/downloading was truly included at no extra charge.
