1. I assume it's like kindle, where they can remove stuff you buy

2. Yep. I have a large amazon library

And totally understand that amazon could take them away at will. Still I find it a great way to have movies and books. It probably will happen hardly ever where something will disappear.

3. and to add to that....

You have to have an amazon account to even access those videos. If you delete your amazzon account, or amazon tosses you for some reason, you can no longer access those vids.

Buyer beware.

4. There are a few shows/movies I like to watch over & over. 'Still buying DVD sets since

5. I have bought very little virtual content

I generally rent, but I use Redbox and the free public library significantly. Virtually everything video I have bought is regularly available on streaming services. I kind of feel foolish by buying it then.

I stopped buying physical media a while ago. I don't like bringing physical stuff into an already cluttered house.

Amazon doesn’t get squat from me until it pays its fair share of taxes.
Please, find alternatives.
