Amazon Instant Video for Android ?'s

[ctychick]

I'm using the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 and am an Amazon Prime member. I've downloaded whatever apps are necessary and am able to stream video successfully. My problem is that I don't see an option to actually download a video to my tablet. I know that "Prime" (free) videos can't be downloaded - only streamed. But on an iPad you can download a rental or purchase to watch offline. My kids do this on their ipads all the time. Is this a specific limitation for Android devices or am I missing something? I've been trying to download a movie that I actually purchased from Amazon and is in my library. If nothing else, I should be able to download an amazon video that I actually own, right?

Thanks!

I don't use Amazon Prime for videos (not available in my location), but Google Movies has a "pin to device" feature to allow you to watch offline. I'm guessing it should have the same feature, considering they're the competing services.

Thanks. I am aware of the Google play pin and use it often. However, since my husband and kids all use ipads and primarily rent /buy from Amazon, I'd like to have the download option for Amazon on my android tablet.
