As the app for amazon instant video was announced today, I downloaded it on my iPad 2. I tried my videos as well as the free prime videos and all failed with a message stating unable to play on this device. I emailed amazon support and received this reply

So it appears that a jail broken device doesn't allow you to use this app. I may unjailbreak on iPad just because I really don't use anything jb on it.
