NO. this is the first gen. They are currently releasing the third gen next month. Bought my wife one when it first came out. Still runs great and she loves it. That being said. If you can get it (you cant here anymore) get the 64g model since there is no expandable storage.
So it says I can watch Amazon Prime movies and shows, but can I download and store them for watching later, like when I’m on a (hopefully snake-free) plane?
IFF this is a 1st gen tablet, then no. I see someone above stating that this is a first gen, but I am not certain. I do have a 7" fire that I purchased from Woot and it is quite nice, but it looks different due to the different screen size.
Prime Instant Video
Prime members also enjoy unlimited, commercial-free streaming of thousands of popular movies and TV episodes such as Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Thor, Rango, The West Wing, Glee, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Parks and Recreation.
This is a second-generation tablet, released in 2012, and you can download some, but not all, of the Prime videos. The movie studios have forbidden Amazon from offering download capabilities on some of their choices. For example, when I was testing this, I was able to download “Casablanca” but was not able to download “The Avengers.”
It seems so.
I cannot figure out how to post a link - but if you search for kindle hd and tmobile sim it should bring up a discussion on the amazon kindle help forum - go to pg 7 and they explain how to change the sim card and how to set it up on the kindle - it seems you have to change the apn.
Gaaaaa!!! I was waiting for deal on these for a couple of months. I finally gave up and got an unlocked Nexus 7 when they came up on a community deal. And of course, on those, you can’t download movies. Oh well…
