Update your iPad's Amazon Video app. They've finally added a Search feature.

And if you scroll down on the main page, they've also added Featured sections for various genres (Kids, Comedy, Drama, Horror, Sci-Fi, etc.) Each "featured" page has about 60 movies and 60 TV selections. Still no way to browse the entire library by category. But it's much better than before.

Justified in HD is $20 a season. There are some other TV season on sale at similar prices. Non-HD is about $5 cheaper.

Re: Notable Amazon Instant Video Freebies, Discounts, New Additions

Amazon Prime picked up the EPIX catalog that Netflix lost earlier this year. Lots of great titles.

Great news for Amazon Prime members—we've just signed two big deals that bring you even more high quality movies and TV shows with all-you-can-eat, unlimited instant streaming. The first is with EPIX and brings movies from Paramount Pictures, MGM, and Lionsgate. Enjoy Thor, Iron Man 2, and Captain America: The First Avenger, plus recent hits such as Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Warrior, Super 8, True Grit, and Rango. In all, 2,000 movies from EPIX will be coming to Prime Instant Video this year.

Wow, that's surprising that Netflix let their deal with Epix run out. That's another huge loss along with the Starz library.

Wrong.

Netflix lost exclusivity to the EPIX catalog, they didn't lose the catalog completely.
