It's a fun puzzle trying to rent a movie from Amazon on an Android phone. In the Amazon app, the page for the movie will say "Available to rent or buy", but with no way to do either. Sometimes, it'll tell you that you have to rent or buy it in a browser. So then you get to try to figure out how to prevent Amazon links in the browser from opening the Amazon app. Before you figure it out, it's time to go to sleep.

The infuriating thing is that Amazon has its own app store, and I would happily install the Amazon app from there for a less frustrating experience, but the Amazon App Store doesn't even have the Amazon app.
