Is there an Amazon video app that works on it?
Not yet. You can cast a Tab from your laptop or use an app that gives you 720p Amazon but neither are ideal.
Need help. I am fairly new to the android system. I have an NP and the new Mi box and really miss not having Amazon so I have been trying to sideload the Amazon apk on both with no success. ( I have spent some time learning on the internet about this) But I know that many of you are android gurus so how about some instructions on how to sideload amazon on either or both. TIA
Amazon Video APK only works on the Shield. You can try installing the Amazon Prime Video Launcher instead, but I think it only plays up to 720p.

Thanks to both of you for the response and the links, I will read some more and see if I can get something to work. Cheers
