Thanks for replies, now I can borrow another one

Is Amazon shareable between people living at different addresses. Could I share an account with a friend or does the Amazon household only apply to people who live at the same address (as the name suggests).

Concerning the movies and TV series you can watch which are included in the Prime subscription - can you download them and keep them, or only watch them?
Thanks:beer:

Some can be downloaded now and watched offline, but I suspect they would disappear if your subscription became inactive. Not sure whether there is a limit as to how many can be downloaded at a time, with Kindle Unlimited I think you can borrow up to 10 books at a time.

I'm fairly sure you can share some of the features across accounts. If you're talking of delivery you can use Prime to deliver next day to any UK address you choose.

With kindle unlimited, can you borrow any of the e books on Amazon or is it from a specific list/library?
I am pondering the free trial to have a read of some newly released books if possible.

No you can only borrow those books held in the kindle library.

I received my new Fire TV Stick a week ago and this morning I received an email entitled, "Quick Start Guide for your Fire TV Stick:"
1. Open the box
Yeah done that
2. Plug in your Fire TV Stick
Er ... yeah done that
3. Follow the On-Screen Guide
Eh?

I've been with Prime for a long time and previously with Lovefilm streaming. Then Lovefilm streaming was incorporated into Prime along with a price hike. At the time I thought it was a good deal but now I'm not so sure. Some of the Tv series and films are not available included with Prime and extra needs to be paid for them. That didn't happen in Lovefilm. Whenever I watch anything on Prime I always check to see that it's "Watch now with Prime."

Overall good if you do lots of shopping on Amazon but not so good if all you want is media streaming. Netflix is better.

You can use other apps to watch more TV (Netflix included, though you do have to pay for it). BBC, ITV and C4 apps include live TV and their respected iplayers. There's also some other free TV apps though not really used any of them.
Amazon has a fair amount of their own TV made content, from kids to grown ups, most of the other free stuff is available on Netflix. There's the occasional paid for deal too.
