Even in today’s always-connected world, there are times when a high-speed Internet connection isn’t available to stream video — think long car trips or plane rides.
Aiming to get a leg up in the aggressive war with Netflix and other Internet video services, Amazon has added a feature to its new line of Kindle Fire tablets: Prime Instant Video downloads, which will let subscribers access a subset of available TV shows and movies for 48 hours.
Amazon’s new tablets also catch up to Netflix with the Second Screen feature, letting Prime Instant Video customers use a Kindle to control the playback of video on TV and access info related to the programming.
