Yesterday I sent a question about SDK and Amazon's software development policy and this morning I got the answer: "I understand that you'd like to know the status of Kindle SDK. however, due to the competitive nature of our business, our policy is not to give out information on the inner workings of our company." And also: "You are welcome, however, to review the materials we have prepared for the public. Our press materials and investor information are available online"
Of course, I'm not buying a PR disaster like this one so I cliked on the link saying something like "If I didn't solve your problem click here..." and send them this:
"Dear Sirs,
My question about Kindle SDK and software development for Kindle has nothing to do with "the inner workings" of your company. As a happy owner of Kindle 3, journalist, web developer and programmer, I would very much like to know will I be able to work on applications that could bring a new customer experience to our device.
Can you please tell me should we hope for getting official tools for Kindle applications development. "
So, we'll see which kind of anwer will come next, maybe my next question will go straight to CEO. I'll keep you posted.
