I read the access to media content and LoveFilm compability as being one and the same. Especially on Jeff Bezos' letter on the Amazon homepage:
Quote:
“Both Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD bring you Amazon's massive selection of digital content. With our Amazon Appstore, you'll find all your favourite apps and games such as Angry Birds Space, Skyscanner - All Flights! and Jamie's 20 Minute Meals. The Amazon MP3 Store has over 20 million songs, from bestselling international and British artists. Instantly stream thousands of popular films and TV shows, including Gnomeo & Juliet, Unknown, Desperate Housewives and 24 with a LOVEFiLM Instant subscription. Haven't experienced LOVEFiLM yet? We'll give you a one-month free trial to experience the service for yourself. And as always, you can choose from the over one million books from our Kindle Store.”
It doesn't read to me like we will be getting TV shows and movies from Amazon.co.uk. The content seems to be staying with LoveFilm as a separate subscription service. Which probably means we won't be getting digital content included with Amazon Prime membership like in the US, which is a shame.
