Amazon has announced its Prime Instant Video service is now available on Android tablets.
This means Prime subscribers can now stream Amazon’s 10,000-strong library of movies and TV episodes using Android slates.
Unsurprisingly, Amazon says the new app is only available through its Amazon Appstore. That means you can’t download it through the Google Play store.

The move to Android tablets has been a long time coming, with Prime Instant Video already available on smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Xbox, PlayStation, the Fire phone, Fire tablets, iPhone, iPad, and Android mobile phones.
Aside from raw viewing, you’ll also get access to Amazon’s exclusive X-Ray feature, which lets you draw information about movies and TV shows from IMDb onto the screen.
Amazon also says you’ll now be able to browse for content on the Amazon website within the mobile web browser, which is also direct playback friendly.
