Amazon Prime Members Can Download Videos, Watch Offline

To better compete with Netflix, Amazon announced it is now offering its Prime members the option to download TV shows and movies to iOS and Android devices for viewing offline. “Previously on those two platforms, the download feature was available only for titles Amazon customers owned outright; the subscription title offline viewing benefit was limited to Kindle Fire tablets,” reports Wired. The obvious advantage to offline viewing is that you are not reliant upon a strong Internet connection. The downside involves the size of most video files, especially if you want to store an entire series. Amazon is also changing the service’s name from Prime Instant Video to Amazon Instant Video.
