Prime members have already been loving video downloads on Fire
devices. Here is what they have said:

for my kids to watch while we are out and about (driving, waiting
for sister’s soccer or dance classes, flying, etc.).”

shows, movies, music & books and are able to... wait for it.
View, watch and listen OFFLINE!”

no internet connection, such as in a car. Second, when my kids want
to watch videos, I can download their favorites so they won't be
hogging the bandwidth at home!”
