This is giving Prime Streaming a huge benefit over my Netflux account. I've recently stayed at two different hotels with poor entertainment options; Prime + iPlayer + Sky Go + All 4 (and a nearly full 64Gb iPad Air 2) have been sufficient.

where are the videos stored?
I downloaded a movie to my android phone, but I can't see where it is stored! I'd like to be able to find it to delete it when I am finished (I think there is a way to do it from the amazon app? but what if I don't have a data connection and want to delete it?

I don't think you can locate it. It is stored somewhere in the amazon video app memory cache or something. But you could still delete it from the Amazon Video app even if you are in airplane mode. If you put your phone on airplane mode, the only thing the app will let you do is to watch downloaded videos or delete them.

My wife said that once you begin viewing a movie it will lock you out after 48 hours.
Does anyone know if you can just download it again and restart the clock?
Also, there is a limit to the number of downloads you can have for one account. So if you have 4 family members sharing one account, it will reduce the number of downloads you can have.
Cheers!

Is this the replacement for Amazon Unbox (which I previously used)?

Downloading Amazon Prime Instant Video to iPad?
So I have Amazon Prime and I just found out that there's a separate app for Amazon Video for the iPad where you can supposedly download video to watch offline.
I followed these instructions:
http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-do...fline-viewing/
But, I don't see the download icon available for anything. Not even the "Flight of the Concords" show that is shown in the c|net article.
What am I doing wrong?

I share my Amazon prime with my friend. I am her Amazon prime "spouse" in the household.
I wonder if you can switch primary accounts between the Amazon "Spouses"
Thanks for the info!

However, Amazon Prime does offer some (limited) HBO content and some of that you can indeed be download for offline viewing, but you are doing that via Amazon, no HBO.
I have no idea what you are referring to re: "linking HBOGo in the Amazon Video app" If you are talking about Amazon's recent announcement, where you can pay additional fees to add on some premium content subscriptions, HBO was not one of the partners announced (at least so far) in that program.
