- Service summary
- This is Amazon's subscription video service, which has recently started to offer content for rent and outright purchase. It has a very busy interface that could use better curation and less overlap of content categories, as well as clearer labels for content that needs to be purchased. It's also not easy to see if a title is available to stream in Ultra HD (4K) or if it can only be purchased or rented in 4K. There is a lot of content on offer.
