I have both Amazon Video (through Prime) and Netflix.

I use Netflix infinitely more because of my Apple TV; the streaming-to-TV ease of use is the simplest I've found, and cheap (since my and my housemates all split the already-small Netflix bill.)

If Amazon had a stronger solution to this use case, I'd be much more inclined to use it. But even if the content is great (and it is -- Amazon Video has a lot of stuff Netflix doesn't), the actual player and delivery leaves something to be desired.

There's the Roku, but that's not a solution from Amazon. It's half the price of Apple TV though.
I switched from an Apple TV to a Roku for Plex, but the Roku's usability is far worse.
I have an amazon prime app on my ps3. Works great.
You can use Amazon Video with Google TV.
