Here’s how to download movies and watch the ones you actually want to see—even when you’re traveling and offline. More and more people are using personal devices—like iPads and Androids—for in-flight entertainment, instead of what’s on the airplane seat backs or in the hotel rooms. For Apple users, iTunes is usually the first stop to purchase, download, and watch movies, which is a no-brainer. Digiboo is a newer service that lets you download movies straight onto your device while you’re at the airport. They have Wi-Fi-enabled kiosks where you select and download movies to watch whenever you want. With the Kindle Fire, you can download videos straight from Amazon. Access Amazon Instant Video, purchase the movie or TV show while you’re connected to Wi-Fi, and download it to watch later when you’re offline. The good news is, more and more airlines now stream content directly to your personal device using their own apps—including United, Southwest, and Delta.

Now playing: Watch this: Download Amazon Prime movies and TV 2:10 Streaming services like Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and Netflix have long made it possible for you to watch movies and TV shows on the go -- provided your phone or tablet has a decent Internet connection. If you want to actually download something, as opposed to just stream it, you have to buy or rent it. The exception: Owners of Amazon Fire tablets can download some Prime Video shows and movies for offline viewing. That's a great option if you're about to get on an airplane, or you're headed somewhere that doesn't have Wi-Fi. As of today, however, owners of other devices can download Prime content as well. That's a pretty big deal, as it could save you some money. Here's how to take advantage of the feature, starting with iOS devices. (It probably goes without saying, but I'll say it just in case: To download Prime video, you must have a subscription to Amazon Prime.) Download to iOSStep 1: Install the Amazon Video app, run it, then sign into your Amazon account. Step 2: Before you start downloading, you'll want to choose the default video-quality setting. So tap the Settings icon, then Download Quality. My advice: Choose Good or Better. Anything higher is overkill for a small screen, and will simply take longer to download and consume more storage. Step 3: Search or browse to find a show or movie you want to download ("Deadwood," anyone?), taking note that not everything in Amazon's Prime Video library supports the option. If you don't see a download button for a particular video (usually movies), that's why. Step 4: If it's a movie, just tap the Download button to start. Note the Options button that appears; tap this if you want to pause or cancel the download as it's happening. If it's a TV show, first select the season you want, then tap the Download button next to the episode you want. (The button next to that, Play, is if you want to stream it instead.) You can queue up multiple episodes to download; you don't have to do one at a time. Who likes to rock the party? Screenshot by Rick Broida/CNETStep 5: When the download is complete, tap Play. If you tap the Library icon, it might not be immediately clear which videos you've actually downloaded and which are simply part of your library. And that's a hassle if you're looking to free up space by erasing stuff you've watched. Fortunately, all you have to do is tap Refine, then select On Device. Now you'll see only the local (i.e. downloaded) movies and shows. Download to AndroidStep 1: Install the Amazon Video app, run it, then sign into your Amazon account. However, don't look for it in the Google Play store; the app must be downloaded from Amazon's Appstore. Confused? Check out "How to install Amazon Appstore on your Android device." Step 2: Before you start downloading, you'll want to choose the default video-quality setting. So tap the Menu icon, then Settings, then SD Download Quality. My advice: Choose Good or Better. Anything higher is overkill for a small screen, and will simply take longer to download and consume more storage. You also have the option of selecting Always Ask When Downloading, which is nice if you want different quality for different types of downloads. Step 3: Search or browse to find a show or movie you want to download ("Orphan Black," anyone?), taking note that not everything in Amazon's Prime Video library supports the option. If you don't see a download button for a particular video (usually movies), that's why. Step 4: If it's a movie, just tap the Download button to start. If it's a TV show, first select the season you want, then tap the Download button next to the episode you want. (The button opposite that, Play, is if you want to stream it instead.) You can queue up multiple episodes to download; you don't have to do one at a time. Step 5: When the download is complete, tap Play. If you want to delete a download, just tap the trashcan icon. Alternately, you can venture into Menu and tap Your Downloads to see the movies and TV shows you've downloaded. Can you watch movies offline on Kindle?With the Kindle Fire, you can download videos straight from Amazon. Access Amazon Instant Video, purchase the movie or TV show while you're connected to Wi-Fi, and download it to watch later when you're offline.
How do I download films on my Kindle?If you are already subscribed to Amazon Prime membership and Netflix, you can download movies and TV to your Kindle Fire. For Amazon Prime, open the movie/video detail of your desired Prime title, tap the Download button.
