"Android app developers looking to make bank might just want to get their apps in Amazon's AppStore, rather than focusing solely on Google's Android Market." http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2400499,00.asp |

I'll try that. I've found that a reasonable percentage of my buyers through the Android Market buy the app, try it and then cancel the transaction to get a refund. I'd be surprised if they hadn't found some way to keep & crack the binary. |

In my case, I have 2 games in both markets: # of installs for the 1st game in 3 weeks: Amazon: 2643 Android Market: 355 # of installs for the 2nd game in 2 weeks: Amazon: 514 Android Market: 81 |

Wow, quite a difference! |
| ||
Interesting. Unfortunately it's still not available for non US/UK developers... |
| ||
I'm UK based and I uploaded my app yesterday, it's currently in review. The sign up let me chose UK as my location. You may mean that apps are currently only purchasable in the USA (which is indeed the case). |
| ||
No, I said it's not available for non UK and non US developers. I'm from Germany and Apple has the rights to use "Appstore" here so Amazon's store is not available here, nor for developers nor for customers. |

Sorry, your text is not clear. As you were. |
| ||
LOL you're right. Sometimes my messages are a bit strange. Sorry for that. :) |

I am in US as an international student and they said it's fine as long as you still have your US bank account and info. I used Paypal as my bank. |
| ||
Hmm... how did you use Paypal as your bank? I mean Amazon asks for stuff like Bank Routing Number, Bank Account Number and so on? |
| ||
How long did you have to wait for app review approval? |
| ||
Sorry, I didn't use paypal on Amazon. That was RIM's appworld that used my paypal information. It didn't take long. I think it took about three days. It takes longer time to approve an app or even an update though. My last update took a week before it went live. |
