movies on a tablet??

[Anonymous]

We have a tablet (not an ipad) that I would love to be able to play some sort of movie/show on for the drive for Thanksgiving. Does anyone know how to do this when wi-fi is not available? Is there some way to download a movie at home to play during the drive?

We have a dvd player in my van for trips but will be taking dh's pick up truck on this trip so we can take a truck load of winter coats to Hurricane Sandy victims.

Thanks for any ideas

I think Amazon lets you download the movies that you purchase or rent (you can't do this for the free streaming with prime)

You burn them to the computer and then the ipad. No big deal.

What kind of tablet? They should have instructions for side-loading content.

This. This is how we watched movies on the plane.

Yes, this works on a Kindle. It's a 48 hours for the rental or something like that, so you don't keep the movie for ever.
