Feature Films Coming Soon to Amazon.com

Amazon’s Digital Video service arrives next month, allowing customers to download feature films and TV shows. Taking a new step into the digital downloads market, Amazon has decided to focus on movies, videos and television shows, since services like iTunes hold a firm grip on digital music downloads. Plus, the online retailer appeals to studios and networks as it is already a reliable name in Internet shopping. With Amazon.com’s new feature, customers will have access to film downloads in two forms: a subscription service with a flat fee for movies over a specified period of time or through a pay-per-view/pay-per-movie scenario.
