Further Amazon annoyance

[mtbc]

The downloaded shows from Amazon Prime Video on my Fire 10, which played fine offline before, no longer did on retest. The best theory appears to be an unobvious feature such that, once one starts a show, one has but two days to finish it. And, my few seconds' test started that timer. So, they're downloading again, I shan't test playback, I shall cross my fingers. Thank goodness for the retest.

Undocumented arbitrary limits are always frustrating.

There is also a limit on the number of times you can download a show for one of the services. Not sure if it is Netflix or Amazon, but I ran into that once.

Okay, that is completely bogus and is a plain invitation to investigate ways to rip the DRM clean off the content so you can watch it at your leisure.

I do that with all of the ebooks that I buy, makes it much easier to give books to my wife. They do not move beyond her and I.
