Free videos, all you can eat! Fresh daily.This app helps users find videos on Amazon Instant Video, an Internet service available only in the United States offering TV shows and films for rental and purchase. Subscribers to Amazon Prime have free streaming access to thousands of these videos for a lower monthly cost than competitors such as Netflix.This app enables you to quickly find the best free and paid videos without navigating Amazon's Web interface. If you are using this app with a Kindle Fire, you'll be able to launch videos directly from the app or add them to your Watch List. (Android and iPhone users of this app cannot launch videos directly from the app. Instead, you should "save" desired videos to your Amazon Wish List, then authorize the transaction through Amazon's website.)The service was originally called "Amazon Unbox" and the Unbox name still refers to the locally installed player, which is now optional. Today, Amazon Instant Video is compatible with the Kindle Fire, Apple iPad, and hundreds of HDTVs, Blu-ray players, set-top boxes, and gaming consoles.Most newer TVs can connect to the internet, many wirelessly, so you can connect to Amazon Instant Video directly.
