Amazon tries offline video

Amazon will let members of its $99 annual Prime loyalty program download some shows and movies on its streaming video service to watch offline, or when there is no Internet connection available, for free.

To watch the content, users can download the Amazon Video app for iOS or Android.

Users will be able to download shows like “Downton Abbey” and “The Good Wife,” HBO shows including “Girls” and “Veep” and some movies.

Shows can be downloaded to Apple and Android phones and tablets, including Amazon’s Fire devices — but not desktops or laptops.

Other streaming services like Netflix and Hulu offer streaming content only.

The Amazon service is available to Prime members in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Germany and Austria.
