The problem with Amazon's app store is that it requires their app store app to launch whatever you've bought long after you've bought it. What's especially troubling is that said ASA makes constant use of your Wifi and 2-4G connection, which runs down your battery and abuses your data coverage. Run app killers all you like, but the ASA zombie will continue to rise from the dead until you uninstall it -- at which point its attendant apps are effectively dead along with it.

Give me the Android and Apple app markets any day. I won't be buying anysuch from Amazon until the day they stop trying to control what I do with my phone and tablet.

With a Kindle, your apps know better than to launch endlessly looking for a nonexistent connection. So far, that seems to be the one unproblematic app UI Amazon's created.
