Questions about downloading movies from Amazon to my iPad.

If I rent a movie how long will it be available for viewing for me. I'm worried that I might rent and then not have time to watch a movie and might be better to buy the download.

I believe you have 24 hours to watch it. You can stop/ start as much as you want within the 24 hour period.

Here is what I found:

Viewing Period:When you rent a video, your viewing rights are contained within two periods: <ul id="GUID-ED4D3058-CCB6-4D4F-8556-02C0EC32A8F6__UL_1DF2D26249E140998CEC381FA5E04789"> <li>You must complete watching rental videos within a window (typically 30 days) from your payment of the rental fee. The length of this window can be found on the detail page or on a link from the detail page, such as the "Learn more about renting and buying" link on website detail pages.
You'll typically have 15 to 30 days to begin watching the video, and once you start watching it, you'll typically have 48 hours to finish watching it. We'll usually notify you when the viewing period for a title is close to expiring.

</li> </ul>

This is confusing. The 1st bullet says typically 30 days to complete watching it. The 2nd bullet says you have 15-30 days to begin watching it, then typically 48 hours to finish watching it.

I am I reading this correct, or am I crazy?

Once you rent a movie, you have 30 days to watch it. Once you start watching the movie, you have 2 days to finish watching it.
