Hit: Disney sells to Amazon, renews with Netflix

Despite the Quickster-gate debacle, the short-term Netflix renewal is good news for Disney -- a company looking to boost content (and thus sales) for the Kindle Fire. Even better is its deal with Amazon. Under the new contract, Amazon will pay Disney to stream the Disney Channel, ABC Family and other content to feed its video streaming service Prime Instant. Amazon also signed contracts with CBS, Fox, Warner Bros., Sony and NBCUniversal.
