I have had no luck either. I have gone into the search menu, and tried to retrieve Amazon, still nothing.

You cannot. No app has been written to support Amazon instant video. This model is at least 5 years old.

You can install Amazon apps. The Amazon app store isn't pre-installed, but you can download it directly to the device by clicking this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get/android

I can't say I remember seeing Amazon Video On Demand as one of the apps in the device. Will update when I get home.

You might want to try sideloading the Appstore app. Opera Mobile has a very good downloader; you can use Google or Bing to search for the Amazon Appstore apk file. Opera Mobile will allow you to instantly open any downloads you make. This is most likely the simplest way to sideload apps. You'll also need to allow for non-Market apps to install. It's an option in your security settings.

Amazon Instant video is available as of today. The new firmware updates the set to firmware 04.00.20 which includes the Amazon app.

If the apps were purchased from amazon you should be able to go into your amazon account - digital section - list the device and then go to your digital orders and indicate to amazon site that you want to download to this device

First off, you have to have this thing plugged into the internet. Either by way of a wireless adapter, or through an Ethernet cable. Once that is done, click the "Internet TV" button on your remote. This will load the Yahoo Widgets. The first widget should be something ala "Browse" or "Customize". Click this, and it will open a new window. Scroll to the right 3 times and there is the Amazon on Demand. Click add to widget toolbar. NExt, go back to the tool bar, and click the amazon widget. Click the icon that looks like a crank...i.e. setup. This will walk you through linking the amazon on demand with your tv. You need a pc to do this. Good luck.

You need a form of Adobe FlashPlayer; it is not pre-installed on the device as Google announced in 2012 that it was discontinuing Flash for mobile devices. There are a couple of easy options available to get around this issue; you can load a browser from PlayStore that has Flash bundled in such as FlashFox (free app). FlashFox works, but it can lag at times and the ads at the bottom of the browser window drive me nuts. The better way is the second option; Amazon announced in September that it would support Prime for Android mobile devices. This can be extended to tablets using the appropriate steps. Just follow the instructions shown below to install the required apps: 1) Install the Amazon Appstore on your device. ( https://www.amazon.ca/gp/feature.html?docId=1001206081) 2) Open the Amazon Appstore (orange icon), search for the Amazon app (the icon has the Amazon logo over a blue shopping basket), and install it. 3) Open the newly installed Amazon App (shopping basket icon), & sign into your account. 4) Once signed in, navigate to any Prime instant video and select "watch now". You will then be prompted to install Amazon Player; do so. 5) Once player installs, you're done. You can now watch any Prime video via your Amazon App. Please note, there is an Amazon app for tablets on Google PlayStore, but it WILL NOT support Prime video on tablets. You must use the above instructions in order to achieve Prime video functionality on this tablet. Hope this helps

I haven't tried on the tablet. But on my phone I downloaded the amazon app that how I do it. You should be able to get it from the app store.

I don't know if we'll get an actual app being that Amazon has created their own format. I agree an app would be nice but I can live with it as long as I can access it.

Yes, the Amazon Kindle app came pre-installed on mine. If not, you can always download it from the app store of your choice.

Are you talking about the Amazon Store App? If so currently the app isn't compatible with the Acer A200 running ICS. I have not tried sideloading the app.
