Amazon Instant Video Review
| |
Amazon Instant Video is like an online video rental store. You can browse movies and tv shows and buy what you’d like to watch. When you click buy, the movie or television episode will instantly play on your computer, tv or mobile device. Plus, if you buy a subscription to Amazon’s Free Shipping membership, Amazon Prime, you also get access to many of the Amazon Instant Videos for free! |

Since Amazon Instant Videos are pay-as-you-go, pricing depends on how frequently you watch movies or tv episodes. If you watch frequently, the costs can add up, as each movie is around $1.99 – $3.99. If you only watch occasionally, however, this is a great option and can save you money. Plus, Amazon Instant Videos offers several titles for no charge, which is an excellent bonus. |

Amazon Instant Video has a good selection of classic movies, but they are a little hard to find. |
| TV Shows: |

Amazon Instant Video has tons of tv options. You can even browse by content provider (NBC, MTV, etc) to find your favorites. The only down side is that you have to pay per episode for most of the shows, so costs can add up. |
| Ease of Use: |
A- |
The interface and navigation for Amazon Instant Videos differs depending on what device you’re using. If watching via computer, you’ll be searching on Amazon’s website and it may sometimes be difficult to distinguish between streaming movies and movies that are for sale via DVD. However, there are many great features, such as the ability to sort by genre, content provider, actor, director and more. |
| Overall Rating: |
B |
Amazon Instant Video is a great option if you’re looking for the latest new releases and a wide selection. It also has some great search functionality that makes it easy to find great movies and tv episodes. However, the costs can add up if you plan to use this service frequently. If you’re simply looking for a movie or two, however, this Amazon Instant Video is perfect! |
