> I don't know, if Amazon Video were available on a real Android tablet I'd get that, but until then I'm using these Fire tablets.

It is. You just have to go to the Amazon Appstore and install the "phone" version of the Amazon app (the app is available in Google Play, but blocked for tablets there). Then that Amazon app can do the extra download of the Instant Video app/plugin and so on. It's working fine on my Nexus 7.

Isn't that only the videos available for free through Prime, not the paid ones?

No, my paid videos also work. The only limitation (vs Amazon devices) I'm aware of is that you can't download videos to play later.

I've seen people claim that there are SD/HD issues, but I haven't noticed (though, to be fair, a lot of my usage has been watching an SD TV show, so...).
