Watching a purchased video on an Android tablet (Hudl2)?

Using my laptop, I've purchased a video on Amazon.co.uk

It wasn't available as a DVD/Bluray, so I bought it as a digital copy, for viewing online.

I can watch it on my laptop, but, when I log onto Amazon using my Android tablet (it's a Hudl2), and try to watch it, I'm taken to a page that tells me to install Amazon Appstore.

I've done that (there are two Appstore icons, see below, on the desktop), but when I again try to watch the video, it takes me back to the same "install Amazon Appstore" page :mad:

    You need to install it:

    Launch Amazon Appstore from Notifications or Downloads, tap Install when prompted, and then sign in with your Amazon account email address and password.

    Install Amazon Video

    Tap the Install button for Amazon Video. Open Amazon Video when installation is complete.

    you may also have to tick the install from ' unknown sources' in the security settings on the Hudl

    This allows you to install from a source other than the Google Play Store!

    Install Amazon Video

    OK, searching for "amazon video" gives me a lot of results, but the top two look promising.

    There's:-

    Amazon Prime Video - the button says "View".

    OR

    Amazon for Tablets - the button says "Get".
