While there’s no easy way to find content specifically available for downloading, if you do come across something with the right permissions then downloading is at least incredibly straightforward. As a result, you’ll have to cross your fingers that the film or television show you want to watch is available. That’s thanks to content owners giving Amazon permission on whether to let people download them as opposed to simply streaming them. Unfortunately, not all of the content on Amazon Prime Video is available for offline playback. And even if you do have a connection, the high data cost of streaming all that video may put you off. In any case, this offline playback feature can be a lifesaver if you’re travelling with your smartphone or tablet and won’t always have access to the internet – on a flight, for example. This doesn’t extend to PCs, laptops and Amazon’s own Fire TV boxes, though. Amazon Prime Video lets you download films and television shows for offline playback on a range of devices, including their Fire tablets and phone, plus Android and iOS devices.
