Yes, works with Amazon, no, don't need monthly subscription services like Roku or stuff like that. It's simply a 'casting" device-as in anything you can view on your tablet/smartphone, you can send to your tv with this plugged in. (note: if you have a 'smart' tv, this capability is probably already built in, you just need to 'connect/pair" the devices. This isn't a direct connection TO service providers (such as Netflix, Hulu or Amazon), nor can you record or anything else. it simply allows you to view content from your tablet or smartphone on a tv this is connected to. Think of it this way; it's really just a wireless way to turn your tv into a large monitor for your smart device (tablet/laptop/smartphone). Also, most major channels are now offering their channels independently (going with the public sick of rising cable costs) and stream a LOT of their shows directly.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Amazon Prime will not work directly with Google’s Chromecast. However, you can change Amazon Prime videos into a format that will work with Chromecast by using the Google Chrome web browser and the Google Cast extension.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Amazon's Prime movies doesn't work with chromecast. They refuse to allow it (that's why they stopped selling it on Amazon.com)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As of today, there is no official support of the amazon prime video for the chromecast. Chromecast works with all the apps that have built support for it. This includes the majority of popular media apps on the phone (netflix,hulu,youtube,hbo go, etc.) and many more: https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/chromecast/apps/?utm_source=chromecast.com The basic design of the chromecast is that your phone or tablet becomes your media hub controlling device. Looking up content by typing the name of a title is very tedious using a remote and onscreen keyboard. A mobile phone makes this navigation a much more pleasant experience, and once you have found the content you can just click the button to send it to your tv. The chromecast takes the feed that your phone requests and downloads it for itself, leaving your phone free to still be used for other tasks including queuing up what you want to play next. The downside for some is that the chromecast is not a stand-alone device. If you don't have a phone or tablet to use with it, it does nothing by itself. Amazon has forked android to make their own amazon-branded version. They have currently shown no interest in supporting items like the chromecast, opting instead to focus on supporting only their own amazon branded ecosystem (fire tv).

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you can see it on your phone or tablet screen, you can use the Chromecast to watch it on your television. You need to go to the Chromecast app, select the menu (the 3 lines on the left at the top), and select "cast screen."
